The ship Zim is expected to arrive at the Gulf port next week. Three days ago, Zim signed an agreement with SIPG, the operator of the Gulf port, according to which Zim’s cargo ship line (ADX), which passes through several ports along the Adriatic Sea, will pass from the port of Haifa for unloading and loading at the Gulf port.
As part of the competition between the ports, the Port of Haifa began operating new cranes that arrived in recent weeks and were unloaded at the Port of Haifa.
