With the arrival of the MSC MAEVA, the largest container ship to have ever call on Haifa Port, a new era has opened for the port and the Israeli shipping.
Port's spokesman mentioned that some of the containers are destined for trans-shipment to Alexandria. "Next week, an even larger ship with many more containers will dock at Haifa", promised the CEO of MSC Israel, Mr. Edani Simkin.
MSC Israel successfully met its initial target for the route on its first voyage, with 1200 containers for import or transshipment (to Alexandria) and some 400 containers for export.
The port of Haifa will face higher targets, when on this coming Friday, a new record will be set with the arrival of the MSC ARICA (TEU 8900) which will be largest ever to have visited Israel. The vessel will be carrying more containers for loading, unloading and transshipment to Adriatic Sea ports. And then, in just another two weeks visits will begin from the West with imports from the United States and exports to the Far East as well as vessels with a 9200 TEU capacity.
The Golden Gate Service's schedule will include the following ports: Ningbo – Shanghai – Chiwan – Yantian – Singapore – Haifa – New York – Norfolk – Baltimore – Savannah – Charleston – Freeport – Norfolk – Haifa – Colombo – Singapore – Chiwan – Hong Kong – Ningbo.
