Israel Ports Development & Assets Company Ltd. (IPC) has given the Haifa Port management full responsibility for a new 290-dunam container port terminal, called Carmel A, which was built at a cost of NIS 1 billion. The Carmel A container terminal, adjacentto the existing port, will be one of the most advanced facilities in the world. It will include state-of-the-art port gates and a leading-edge computerized terminal operations system.
Mendi Zaltzman, Haifa port CEO, noted that the new Carmel A port project is one of the largest infrastructure projects at present, aiming to increase Haifa Port's container capacity by an extra 450,000 TEU a year.
Israel Ports Company chairman, Yiftah Ron-Tal, said the new terminal gives importers and exporters access to advanced port facilities, which will benefit the Israeli economy and will make the Haifa Port more competitive on a regional level.
The improvements will serve as a major economic stimulus for the Haifa area and the north in general, he said.
