Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd on Sunday reassured investors and global shipping partners, confirming that operations at the Port of Haifa remain fully functional despite heightened security tensions in northern Israel.

In an official statement, Haifa Port Company said all employees are safe and that port assets and infrastructure are “fully secure and in operational condition”. The company added that it is closely monitoring developments and coordinating with Israel’s ministry of transport and road safety, operating strictly as per official guidance.

Company says all staff are safe and port infrastructure remains secure

The clarification follows reports of missile activity and air-defence interceptions in and around Haifa in recent days amid the broader regional escalation. While security systems have been activated in northern Israel, there have been no confirmed reports of structural damage to the commercial port’s core infrastructure.

Adani Ports holds a 70% stake in Haifa Port through a joint venture with Israel’s Gadot Group, making the asset a key part of its global expansion strategy. Since completing the acquisition under Israel’s privatisation programme, the company has positioned Haifa as a strategic Mediterranean gateway linking European, Middle Eastern and Asian trade routes.

Operations continue under close coordination with Israeli authorities

In its investor communication, the company stressed that operations are proceeding in line with instructions from national authorities. “We remain committed to ensuring the safety of our people and the continuity of operations, maintaining stability for Israel’s supply chain and international trade,” the statement said.

Haifa is one of Israel’s most important commercial ports, handling container cargo, bulk shipments and critical industrial inputs. Any prolonged disruption could have implications for supply chains, shipping schedules and insurance premiums across the eastern Mediterranean.

Port remains vital to Israel’s trade flows

Given Haifa’s importance, the company’s reassurance is aimed not only at shareholders but also at international carriers, logistics operators and insurers assessing operational risk in the region.

The shares of Adani Ports ended 1.98% lower at ₹1,519.90 apiece on the nation’s stock exchanges on Friday. The company’s shares have risen nearly 45% in the past year, as against the benchmark Nifty 50’s 14% surge during the same period.
