Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ), India’s largest port operator, has confirmed that its Haifa Port terminal in Israel is secure and fully operational, despite ongoing regional conflict following recent military strikes. The company said port operations continue as usual, with no disruptions to cargo movement or vessel schedules.
Haifa Port, on Israel’s Mediterranean coast, is a vital hub for container shipments, vehicles, and bulk cargo. Adani Ports manages terminal operations through a joint venture with local partners, ensuring smooth handling of trade between Israel, India, and other international markets. Maintaining operational continuity is crucial amid heightened security concerns in the region.
In an official statement, APSEZ said it has implemented all necessary measures to safeguard its employees, assets, and infrastructure. The company emphasised that business activities at the port remain unaffected, with cargo handling, vessel calls, and supply chains running normally. These assurances aim to allay concerns of traders and shipping partners relying on stable operations.
Haifa Port plays a strategic role not only for Israel’s domestic trade but also for connecting Mediterranean and European routes with Asia. Analysts note that keeping the port open during regional instability reassures international shippers and investors, preserving confidence in the logistics and shipping sector.
Adani Ports’ statement also comes amid broader market concerns over potential disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which could affect fuel costs, insurance premiums, and shipping schedules. By confirming that its Haifa operations remain unaffected, APSEZ signals resilience and commitment to uninterrupted service for global trade partners.
The company reiterated its commitment to the safety and well-being of employees and partners at the port. All standard security protocols are in place, and management continues to monitor the situation closely to respond promptly to any potential risks.
