About Haifa
Haifa is Israel's northern container gateway, set in a natural bay with the Haifa Bay industrial zone alongside it. It serves the north of the country and is well connected south towards Tel Aviv. Newer terminal capacity has been added at the bay, increasing the size of vessel it can take.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Haifa — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 14–18 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Israel lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
