Haifa Port sets impressive new productivity record

Haifa Port is known for having outstanding productivity levels that are the highest in Israel. Even so, work carried out on the ZIM Los Angeles during last Friday at the Carmel Terminal achieved impressive new heights of productivity and efficiency – a productivity level that is almost impossible to find at any terminal, anywhere in the world.

Record output of 318.8 containers per ship hour was achieved with the help of the Carmel Terminal’s six STS cranes, which were assigned to operate on the ZIM Los Angeles. All six cranes attained excellent productivity levels. During the shift, the record for a single crane’s productivity was also broken when the crew operating the G21 crane moved 74.7 containers per crane hour. The Carmel Terminal average crane hour in 2015 is 30 containers per hour.

Details of the cranes that
achieved this record:

G21 – 74.7 containers per crane
hour; G22 – 58.5 containers per crane hour;

G23 – 46.5 containers per crane
hour; G24 – 41.1 containers per crane hour

G25 – 53.4 containers per crane
hour; G26 – 44.6 containers per crane hour

By implementing the Navis TOS system and improving the capabilities of the Carmel Terminal, Haifa Port is now well-prepared to handle large container ships and provide them with exceptionally high productivity, as has been proven by this week’s achievement and by the port’s increased overall productivity during the past year. The Haifa Port company’s board of directors has already approved further enhancements to the Carmel Terminal’s infrastructure, including the purchase of two additional STS cranes (20 + 1 lines) and three gantry cranes. These cranes have been ordered from suppliers.

Mendi Zaltzman, Haifa Port CEO, commented on this new record: “We understand what is required of us. Service excellence and high productivity are the cornerstones of this port’s future, and we will only continue to improve in all areas. We Challenge the Shipping
line decision makers to test us.”
