Port of Haifa workers have decided to set up a cooperative that may buy 15% of the Haifa Port Co. The port has about 950 employees

During March the port handled TEU123,500 compared to TEU 108,000, the previous container record

The overall project which has been given an approximate cost of US$12.4 mill, will be completed in July 2009. US$8 million of the total cost will come from the USA anti terror program

the Haifa Port's internal auditor was ordered to investigate the tenders committee technical staff presently studying three offers for the supply of 22 container gantry cranes to the port

The Director General of Ministry of Transportation said, as part of the Port2Port 2008 event, that the Israeli economy is absolutely dependent on the functioning of the ports

The way to ensure competition in the ports is to create a real alternative to users of the ports, which will serve the interests of the importers and exporters and lower their costs

Minister Mofaz pointed out that the logistics chain in the ports' infrastructure must be fully used to direct work around the clock

The industries benefiting include a wide range of technologies and factories located in development regions in the North and South of the countries and on kibbutzim
