Largest container vessel ever to call at the port of Haifa

The vessel called at the port’s new Carmel terminal to pick up about 2,000 TEU en-routes to Singapore. The 84,300dwt container vessel was built in 2010 by Hanjin Heavy Industries, South Korea, and is 300m long and has a 40m beam. Dredging works in the port will begin soon to deepen the entrance to the port to 15.75m enabling the port to accommodate even large container vessels.
