currently Israel extend Ashdod port and build a new port (northern of today port) The vision is that Ashdod will be a major trade hub between east & west, Asia & Europe.
Today most of the Asia – Europe trade go through the Suez canal, with the current instability in the middle east Eilat – Ashdod port become the best alternative.
The visionis that the Cargo will transport from Asia to Eilat port, unload and transport by cross Negev railway to Ashdo port and from Ashdod by ship to Europe.
