Port Overview · UN/LOCODE ILHAD

Hadera Port, Israel

Hadera is a specialized offshore energy-import terminal on Israel’s Mediterranean coast, positioned approximately midway between Tel Aviv and Haifa at 32.470595°N, 34.877470°E. Its operating profile is fundamentally different from a general-purpose container gateway: the facilities described for ILHAD are an approximately 2,000-metre jetty with conveyor handling for coal and a multi-buoy offshore tanker berth for fuel oil serving adjacent power stations. The supplied port record reports approximately 7 million tonnes handled annually, with bulk carriers forming the principal recorded vessel type. Our service team therefore treats ILHAD as a project, dry-bulk and liquid-bulk call requiring terminal confirmation, cargo-program coordination and carefully controlled vessel, safety and inland-delivery planning.

Decision Snapshot

Key Highlights

Energy-terminal profilePrimary cargo logic is coal and fuel oil discharge for nearby power-generation facilities, not routine container handling.

Offshore interfaceCoal is described as handled through a jetty, conveyor and grabs; fuel oil is handled through a multi-buoy offshore tanker berth.

Large-vessel capabilityThe supplied record identifies calls up to 292 m, 18.0 m draught and 225,000 DWT; every voyage remains subject to confirmation.

Planning priorityTerminal acceptance, weather and marine-window confirmation should precede firm inland delivery commitments.

Terminal Characteristics

Facilities & Services

Coal discharge: The supplied description identifies a roughly 2,000 m jetty, grabs and conveyor transfer to the adjacent coal-fired power station.
Fuel-oil discharge: A multi-buoy offshore tanker berth is identified for supplying the adjacent oil-fired power station. Hose, connection, safety and quantity procedures must be confirmed with the terminal.
Bulk-vessel interface: The port is suited to dry-bulk and liquid-bulk vessel planning. Cargo nomination, parcel size, vessel dimensions and discharge sequence require prior terminal approval.
Container and general cargo: ILHAD should not be selected as a routine container gateway on the basis of the supplied record. Our team will assess alternative Israeli gateways when the shipment is containerized or requires standard liner-terminal services.
Inland distribution: Final delivery is expected to rely on coordinated road movements from the receiving terminal or power-station interface. Vehicle access, permits, unloading equipment and delivery windows must be checked case by case.

Routing Logic

Routes & Logistics Timing

Trade direction: Bulk energy cargo may be sourced through Mediterranean and other permitted international supply chains, but the actual origin, loading port and vessel program depend on the power-station procurement schedule.
Service structure: This is generally a nominated-vessel or bulk-charter planning environment rather than a standard weekly container service. Our team will coordinate shipper, charterer, terminal and marine agents before fixing the operating plan.
Timing variables: ETA reliability can be affected by weather, offshore berth availability, vessel clearance, cargo readiness, discharge rates, marine safety restrictions and shore-receiving capacity.
Transit-time policy: We do not publish a fixed transit time for ILHAD. A shipment-specific schedule should be issued only after origin, vessel, cargo quantity, terminal window and inland destination are confirmed.

Cargo and Delivery Scope

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary receiving zoneThe immediate logistics focus is Hadera and the adjacent power-generation complex, with delivery planning linked to the receiving facility rather than a broad container distribution network.

Dry bulkCoal is the principal dry-bulk commodity identified in the port record. Cargo specifications, dust-control requirements and discharge instructions should be agreed before nomination.

Liquid bulkFuel oil is the identified liquid-bulk commodity. Product classification, SDS, flash point, quantity and transfer procedures must be supplied for review.

Project and industrial cargoHeavy or oversized power-sector equipment may require an alternative gateway and a separate route survey; suitability cannot be assumed from ILHAD’s bulk-vessel profile.

Control Points

Operations & Compliance

Booking and terminal window: Confirm cargo readiness, vessel nomination, ETA notices, pilotage or marine-agent requirements and the terminal’s acceptance window before fixing delivery dates. Bulk terminals may not follow container-style cut-off conventions.
Dangerous goods: Fuel oil may fall under applicable dangerous-goods and marine-pollution controls depending on its specification. Provide the SDS, UN information where applicable, flash point, cargo declaration and emergency-response data before loading or discharge arrangements.
Customs and documents: Commercial invoice, packing or quantity documents, bill of lading, certificate of origin where required, cargo specification and import authorization should be aligned with the Israeli customs process. Our team will verify the current filing requirements for the specific commodity.
Inspection and inland delivery: Customs, safety, environmental or terminal inspections can affect release. For road delivery, confirm axle limits, route constraints, permits, escort requirements and receiving-site time slots before arranging equipment.

Execution Recommendations

Shipping Tips

Send the full cargo profile early: commodity, quantity, density, moisture or quality parameters, SDS, loading port, intended vessel and final receiving facility. This allows our service team to test terminal acceptance before commercial commitment.
For coal, align sampling, moisture, dust, grabs, conveyor interface and discharge-rate assumptions with the terminal and vessel operator. Do not rely solely on standard bulk-vessel charter language.
For fuel oil, confirm product compatibility, heating requirements if applicable, hose and manifold details, tank readiness, transfer controls and spill-response arrangements with the authorized terminal parties.
Maintain an alternative plan through another Israeli gateway when container equipment, general cargo handling, specialist heavy-lift capability or a firm liner schedule is required.

Practical Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ILHAD a normal container shipping port?

The supplied port profile describes a specialized coal and fuel-oil unloading terminal. It should not be treated as a regular container gateway without written confirmation of the specific terminal and service arrangement. Our team can evaluate an alternative Israeli port for FCL or LCL cargo.

What vessel size can be considered for Hadera?

The supplied record reports a maximum recorded length of 292 m, draught of 18.0 m and deadweight of 225,000 DWT. These are recorded parameters, not an unconditional acceptance guarantee; vessel suitability remains subject to terminal, marine, weather and cargo-program approval.

Does fuel oil require special documentation?

Yes. The product SDS, specification, flash point, pollution classification, quantity and applicable dangerous-goods declarations should be prepared in advance. Our service team will confirm the current requirements with the terminal, carrier and relevant authorities.

Can a forwarder promise a fixed transit time or delivery date?

Not before the vessel, offshore berth window, cargo readiness, customs status and receiving-site slot are confirmed. We provide a shipment-specific operating schedule and update it when marine or terminal conditions change.

What is the main operational risk at ILHAD?

The principal risk is a mismatch between a bulk-energy terminal’s operating procedures and a shipper’s standard container or general-cargo assumptions. Early terminal validation, complete cargo data and a weather-aware delivery plan are essential.

Data Provenance

Data Sources & Authenticity Notes

Port code, name, location, coordinates, vessel profile, recorded dimensions, draught, deadweight and the described coal/fuel-oil terminal characteristics are taken from the supplied ILHAD port record. The reported annual cargo figure is likewise reproduced only as a value from that supplied record and should be reconfirmed with the terminal or port authority before use in a commercial quotation.

For current Israeli customs, import, safety and regulatory requirements, our service team uses official government information and verifies the shipment-specific position before execution: gov.il.

Operational acceptance, marine restrictions, berth windows, cargo handling procedures, charges and inland access are time-sensitive and must be confirmed with the authorized terminal, vessel operator, marine agent and receiving facility. No unverified berth, frequency, rate, free-time, container service or transit-time claim is implied.
