Ashdod Port Maintains 24/7 Operations to Secure Israel's Supply Chain

Ashdod Port, a critical logistics hub for the Israeli economy, continues to maintain full functional continuity even under the threat of rocket fire. As a vital strategic facility, the port operates 24/7 to meet the import and export needs of the market, focusing on unloading grain shipments, food products, and essential goods to prevent public shortages.

Operational activity at the piers continues in close coordination with security authorities, with port employees performing unloading and loading tasks under strict guidelines to ensure their safety.

Shaul Schneider, Chairman of the Ashdod Port Board of Directors, stated that "Ashdod Port continues to operate as a national strategic asset with a clear responsibility to ensure the functional continuity of the Israeli economy in light of current challenges." He added that port employees are once again demonstrating high professionalism, commitment, and noteworthy resilience.

Ashdod Port CEO Nissan Levy noted that "port employees continue to work with great dedication even during a complex security period. Ashdod Port is a critical link in the Israeli economy's supply chain, and the port continues to operate responsibly to load and unload goods that drive the Israeli economy, while strictly adhering to Home Front Command instructions."

Currently, security and operations teams at the port are prepared for changing scenarios, ensuring that every ship calling at the port receives the most efficient and rapid service possible, despite operational constraints.

Ashdod Port's ability to function under fire is particularly critical given the congestion at other ports and disruptions to maritime trade routes to Israel. For the shipping community, continuity at Ashdod ensures that goods do not get "stuck" at transit ports abroad due to fears of an inability to unload in Israel.
