Ashdod Port completes significant phase of Platform 21 upgrade

Ashdod Port has completed a significant phase in its ₪500m (US$156.2m) project to upgrade Platform 21 to make it deeper and accessible to megaships.

At the end of the process the western side of the platform will reach a depth of about 16 m, which will allow large grain ships to dock there.

Shiko Zana, CEO of Ashdod Port, said: “Ashdod Port’s signature engineering project will upgrade the largest platform at the port and this will allow us to provide better service to the grain ships.
