About This Seaport
Ashqelon handles petroleum, not boxes — a distinction that matters for any shipper checking the UN/LOCODE IL AKL. Operated by the state-owned European Asia Pipeline Company (EAPC, formerly the Eilat-Ashkelon Pipeline), it functions as an offshore oil and refined-products terminal on Israel's Mediterranean coast. Cargo moves over open roadstead: two single-buoy moorings receive crude tankers of up to 250,000 tons, while separate buoy moorings handle gasoline, jet fuel and diesel at up to 130,000 and 100,000 tons. Around 410,000 m³ of product storage sits onshore, linked by pipeline to Eilat on the Red Sea so that crude and fuels can bypass the Suez Canal. No container, reefer or general-cargo facilities operate here. Shippers needing those services route through Ashdod or Haifa instead.
