Haifa upgrades to 24-hour working

Haifa Port Company Ltd commenced 24-hour working as from February, effectively doubling the amount of time the terminal is open. The pilot programme is aimed at reducing congestion, with up to 300 containers shifting from daytime to night time handling.

It takes 5.3 days to transfer goods from a customer to the exit gate at the port; this compares with just 1.4 days in the Netherlands.
