Ashdod port seeks DP World-UAE connection

However, Hozman-Bechor still sees a key role for the central Ashdod port as a regional transport bub linking Europe with the Middle East and further. The port’s chairwoman would like to see UAE shipping lines using the port, an activity that could start soon. Recently, the first MSC vessel to sail with cargo from Israel directly to Dubai through Egypt’s Port Said carried a special container from Ashdod. The vessel contained a shipment of adhesive tapes from the Davik plant at Kibbutz Sde Boker. The Dubai customer was Kimoha, which purchased the adhesive tape designed to create carrying handles for packs of bottles. Copyright (C) PortSEurope. All Rights Reserved. 2020.
