Adani Group’s Haifa Port Unaffected As Iran And Israel Trade Missiles

The Haifa port in Israel, operated by Indian billionaire Gautam Adani’s group, remained completely unaffected by the recent Iranian ballistic missile attack. Cargo operations at the Adani-operated port continued smoothly without any disruption. Sources confirmed that eight ships are currently docked at the port, and cargo handling activities are progressing as usual. The Iranian missile strike, launched late Saturday night, specifically targeted Israel’s Haifa port and a nearby oil refinery in response to earlier Israeli attacks on Iranian nuclear and military sites. However, despite the missile threat and the impact on nearby areas, the Adani port sustained no damage. A piece of interceptor shrapnel was found at the Kishan West section of the Haifa port, but there were no injuries reported. Port operations remained completely normal, according to officials. Adani Ports has yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident, but the seamless continuation of cargo operations reflects the port’s resilience and stability.

Haifa port remains a vital maritime hub for Israel, managing over 30 percent of the nation’s imports. The Adani Group holds a commanding 70 percent stake in the port, which, while strategically significant, accounts for less than 2 percent of the total volume handled by Adani Ports and SEZ (APSEZ). Despite this, Haifa contributes about 5 percent to APSEZ’s overall revenue. The port continues to operate efficiently, maintaining its crucial role in supporting Israel’s trade and supply chain, even amid regional tensions. APSEZ, with a diversified cargo portfolio, handles a total volume of 10.57 million tonnes across its global network, showcasing its strong operational footprint beyond Haifa.
