About Ashdod
Ashdod sits on the Mediterranean coast south of Tel Aviv and serves the centre and south of Israel. It is an artificial harbour and the closer of the two Israeli ports to the main population centre. The choice between Ashdod and Haifa rarely changes the door cost much, so vessel availability usually decides it.
