Haifa Port handles it largest ship

Haifa Port’s Carmel Terminal, Israel, has received a call by the largest ship ever docked in the country.

The 13,092 teu Maersk Elba links ports in South Korea, China and Singapore to Haifa Port, continuing from there to the Adriatic ports as part of a weekly service operated by the 2M Alliance, which includes Maersk and the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).

As part of a series of investments carried out to be able to handle bigger ships, the port’s Carmel Terminal recently received five new cranes, including two ship-to-shore (STS) cranes manufactured by Kocks Cranes.
