Our activity diversification strategy proves itself .
In the cement sector, we worked to increase our holdings in the two companies we control, Cement and Isco, a move that will allow us to enjoy a larger share of the cement operating profits, which is a significant growth engine for the company, while the cement industry enjoys increased demand and accelerated growth.
In the port activity sector, we continue to present efficiency at a global standard, which is reflected in the volume of cargo unloading per ton in relation to the size of the port, and we continue to operate in a ’24/7 format, with maximum occupancy, to help the economy cope with congestion at Israeli ports. This was reflected in both an increase in the volume of activity and an increase in profitability.
World transport prices continue to provide a strong boost to our activity in the field of maritime transport, in which we currently operate a fleet that includes 9 ships, including a ship with a capacity of about 37.5 thousand tons. In addition, we own 4 ships dedicated to transporting cement, of which 3 ships are used by the subsidiary Cement and another ship, which operates to transport cement for third parties.
In the shipyard sector, we continued to increase our order backlog, by receiving new orders from the Ministry of Defense and from customers in the international markets. The backlog has increased to over NIS 800 million.
These days we continue to develop the company’s growth engines, including the construction of the silo facility for receiving nuclear cargo, entry into the bitumen and gypsum areas, as well as our participation in the tender for the privatization of Haifa Port together with our partner DP WORLD from Dubai. At the same time, we are working in all sectors of activity in order to locate new deals to establish the company’s continued growth. “
