TIL has been awarded the tender to operate the port for 25 years.

Dutch company TIL has been awarded the tender to operate the new private port that will be built in Ashdod for 25 years, the Israel Ports Company has announced. TIL beat German rivals Eurogate to win the tender for the new port. The port will be built by Chinese company PMEC, a subsidiary of China Harbour, and is due to begin operations in 2012.

Last week the Israel Ports Company announced that Shanghai International Port Group (SIPG) had won the tender to operate the new Haifa port for 25 years. The new Haifa port, which should also begin operations in 2021, is being built by Ashtrom Group and Shapir.
