The Haifa Port, located in northern Israel and predominantly owned and operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd, has emerged unscathed following recent missile strikes from Iran targeting Israeli infrastructure. According to reports, the Iranian ballistic missiles, launched late Saturday, hit areas surrounding the port, including a nearby refinery and a chemical terminal.
While some missiles impacted parts of the refinery and debris fell in the vicinity of the chemical terminal, authorities confirmed that there were no reported injuries or significant damage to the operational infrastructure. Notably, the section of the port managed by Adani remained intact, and cargo movement was not disrupted.
In a concerning turn, interceptor shrapnel was discovered at Kishan West within the port boundaries, yet operations continue normally, with reports indicating that eight vessels are currently docked and cargo handling remains on schedule.
Haifa Port plays a critical role in Israel’s logistics, responsible for over 30 percent of the nation’s total imports. The Adani Group had strengthened its position in the region by acquiring a controlling share of the facility as part of its broader global port expansion strategy.
The resilience of Adani Ports’ operations amid ongoing geopolitical tensions highlights both the port’s stability and the effectiveness of Israel’s missile defense systems in mitigating potential threats to vital infrastructure.
