Ahmedabad, Gujarat headquartered Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) and Israel’s Gadot Group have won the tender to privatize the Port of Haifa, the second largest port in Israel.
“The privatization of the port of Haifa will increase competition at the ports and lower the cost of living,” Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman said.
The consortium of APSEZ and Gadot Group was formed with their respective shares of 70% and 30%. The consortium’s offer for the port was equivalent to $1.18 billion.
The Adani-Gadot consortium secured the rights to buy 100% shares of Haifa Port Company Ltd. The concession period of the Port of Haifa remains up to 2054.
Located toward the north of Israel, adjacent to the city of Haifa and about 60 miles away from Tel Aviv, Haifa Port includes two container terminals and two multi-cargo terminals. It is Israel’s leading deep water port and one of the two biggest commercial ports in Israel. It handles nearly half of Israel’s container cargo, and is also the country’s principal port for passenger traffic and cruise ships.
Adani Group Chairman, Gautam Adani said, “Delighted to win the tender … Immense strategic and historical significance for both nations!”
CEO of Gadot, Opher Linchevski, said, “Our partnership with Adani blends the best of two worlds – our expertise in handling cargo in Haifa Port and Adani’s world class capability in managing port operations.”
