About This Seaport
Two container terminals define Haifa, Israel's largest port on the Mediterranean coast: the older Haifa Port and the newer Bay Port, opened in the bay in 2021. Following privatisation, an Adani-led consortium now runs the older terminal, while China's SIPG holds a 25-year concession for the Bay Port; a third area belongs to Israel Shipyards. Bay Port handled about 830,000 TEU in 2023, overtaking the older port for the first time. The harbour links European and Asian trade lanes and handles general cargo and cruise traffic alongside boxes. Channel depths of around 12.5 metres suit mainstream container vessels. Since privatisation, container dwell times have fallen sharply, from 44 hours in 2021 to about 22 hours, and in the first quarter of FY2025/26 throughput under Adani rose about 28 percent year on year despite Red Sea risks. Rail and road connections carry cargo inland across Israel. Ashdod, home to the TIL-run Hadarom terminal, is the principal alternative on Israel's Mediterranean coast.
