On the way to a global cruise destination - the Port of Haifa chose the world's leading planning firm to design the new passenger terminal • 2027
The leading design firm Bermello, Ajamil & Partners (BA) was chosen to design the new passenger terminal of Haifa Port.
BA is the world's leading and well-known terminal planning and design office, which has successfully carried out huge projects on six continents. The office is responsible, among others, for the passenger terminals in Miami, Seattle, San Francisco, Singapore, New York, Galveston, Mauritius and many others. BA is known for its designs that blend into the cityscape while giving special emphasis to service, accessibility and the customer experience. The new passenger terminal of the Port of Haifa will be the first marine terminal built in Israel from the beginning as a passenger terminal, and not from converted warehouses as was the case today.
The Port of Haifa has become one of the fastest growing destinations in the world of cruises in the era after the Corona epidemic, when this year approximately 380,000 Israeli passengers and 250,000 tourists will pass through the port. This extraordinary growth was also manifested in the arrival of about 30 different brands of cruise companies, with 10 of them choosing Haifa as their home port.
The design of the passenger terminal will incorporate elements from the history and culture of Israel and Haifa, while emphasizing maximum efficiency and standing in line with the most advanced terminals in the world. The project is the first swallow in the development of the sea front planned by the Adani-Gadot group, the owner of Haifa Port. This commitment to preserve the essence of Israel's heritage and seamlessly integrate into the future growth of Haifa illustrates the port's commitment to the inseparable relationship with the residents of Haifa and the city itself.
The new terminal is expected to be the first significant project of Haifa Port after privatization and its transfer to the ownership of Adani-Gadot. The new group of owners has made it their goal to make Haifa Port the most competitive, efficient and leading port in Israel, and to develop Haifa's waterfront so that it becomes the urban and pulsating heart of the city. The cruise industry is one of the main branches of activity of the Port of Haifa, and the vision of the Adani-Gadot Group is to turn the Port of Haifa into the hub port (HUB), i.e. a central activity port, as far as cruises in the Mediterranean are concerned. The establishment of an innovative terminal, services and a leader in the fields of design and innovation, will increase the tourist attractiveness of Haifa, something that will also contribute to the income of businesses in the area from the tourism industry, and will help create new employment opportunities for the residents of the city and the area
It doesn't matter before the elections or after the main thing that something will move, renew and advance in our sleepy city.
The pictures are all from the passenger port in Miami lol.
In fact, in none of the pictures do you see what is planned in Haifa??
They put out a story for the media about nothing, even before there is an EIA, planning and simulations.
And meanwhile, this is the second year that the tens of thousands of passengers don't even have an old terminal, walking in the sun to and from the ship, and port taxes are collected in full.
It is interesting that this is published before the elections.
A multi-passenger terminal at Haifa port.
A terminal for many passengers in the port of Haifa who don't even stop for a cup of coffee in some cafe in Haifa. Instead of building an airport that will bring millions into the city, they find millions on a wasted terminal.
So choose Einat Kalish who has been fighting since the beginning of her first term as mayor to expand the airport route
