Located to the south of Ashdod, the South Port serves as a vital commercial seaport. It addresses the demands of the economy in the realm of maritime trade. The ongoing port upgrade project is an integral component of a strategic plan aimed at accommodating larger ship sizes and bolstering Israel’s economy, which heavily relies on its maritime gateways.
As an integral component of the port’s comprehensive upgrade initiative, the Shapir Group was selected to execute the port’s “refurbishment”. This encompassed a wide array of tasks, including infrastructure construction, paving, electrical installations, crane assembly, railway construction, transformer stations, building construction, operational facilities, warehouses, and control rooms. Remarkably, the group successfully completed the project well in advance of the scheduled deadline, concluding in October 2021.
Key statistics pertaining to the project include:
Client: A Private Contractor
Period of Construction: 2019-2021
Financial Scope: Approximately NIS 900 million
