(haipo) - Sailors arriving at the port of Haifa for a Mano Shipping cruise discover that the new sailors' parking lot that was inaugurated last July was not included in the arrangement with the company.
As a reminder, last July a new parking lot was opened at Haifa port for those going on cruises, which includes baggage collection and transportation to the cruise terminal and is also accessible to the disabled. The cost of long-term parking - NIS 40 per day or part of it. The first half hour in the parking lot is free of charge for those arriving by private car or organized transportation and interested in luggage delivery and arrival to the terminal.
The Haifa system received several complaints from sailors who arrived at the port of Haifa in order to sail on one of the Mano shipping cruises. But when they arrived at the port and especially at the new parking lot for sailors, they discovered that sailors with a shipping list cannot use the parking lot and park there. Although today there are many who prefer to use public transportation, there are still those who like to arrive in their own vehicle, park, travel and return independently, and not rely on public transportation.
A passenger from the central region told Lahi Pa: "On the weekend, we arrived in our private car to go on the "Mano" cruise, and we planned to park the car in the parking lot of the port that we read had recently opened, but when we arrived we found out that the parking lot is not intended for sailors with the Mano company, because there is no arrangement between the port and the company. We had a hard time finding parking and it kind of ruined our trip."
The shipping companies that have a parking arrangement with Haifa port are MSC and ROYAL CARIBBEAN.
The port of Haifa said in response:
"We are working in cooperation with Manu to make this possible as soon as possible."
"It is expected that the service will be provided to all companies"
The Mano Shipping company said in response:
"Mano Shipping Company takes care of the fast and good reception of its passengers. Most of the passengers arrive by public transportation, including Israel Railways, and get off at the Hasmona station, which is next to the entrance to the port. Passengers who arrive by private vehicle, and they are few, have parking solutions next to the port. The use of the parking lot in the port is not related to the shipping companies This is a service that is expected to be received from Haifa Port for the sailors from all the companies that frequent it."
The main problem in arriving at the port is the accessibility to the boarding process, everything is as far away as the trainees instead of renovating the terminal, which has been inactive for two years, harassing the passengers, 2 km to boarding is not easy, especially for the disabled
So it's about time they do something about this wretched terminal
The so-called sailing is one big sheet... there is no consideration for people with disabilities... there is no friendly accessibility...
Hope that next time you will save us heartache in the amusement park until entering the belly of the ship...
very simple.
To arrive by train exit the train 40 meters elevator and scooter transportation for those interested in the belly of the ship
All access to the cruise port from the HaSmona parking lot - the Atzwam is a medieval catastrophe. Why don't they oblige all those who come with their car or with organized buses to leave the special parking lot that was opened?
Why are private cars/private Shetim buses allowed to enter the Shematon/Attsuma area even if only to drop off passengers? The rush is celebrating, the sirens are waking up the dead, a travel route in Independence is always blocked and all at the expense of those who live nearby.
The HaSmona station should be reached by ships that come only by public transportation such as train, taxis, buses.
The police must assign personnel to sort out the mess every day of the cruise

why complain There is an elevator from the sidewalk to the entrance
Take the train!
There is no direct train from Bat Yam to Haifa Haifa station
There are comments here that are disconnected from reality.
As part of the renovations of the Netivot building and the taking over of the upper transportation lot for the purpose of inspection, a situation has arisen where access to the bridge is blocked for vehicles.
Elderly people and people with difficulties who arrive by taxi are required to walk all the way over the bridge to the upper parking lot.
We sailed this year with the Mano company and the whole section up to the ship was one big site.
There is an elevator next to the entrance, there is no reason to be on the bridge
As we arrive with luggage to Nethav by train and taxis to Nethav, the residents of the center are expected not to arrive at Haifa port by car when they have a train station right at its door.
It is impudence and boldness on the part of the Haifa port to generate congestion in the already congested downtown, with a parking lot for sailors, and I call on the Haifa municipality to intervene and forcefully close the port project. Take a Yonit, bus, train.. tan the car at home.
As we arrive with suitcases in Israel, the residents of the center are expected not to arrive at Haifa port by car when they have a train station right at its door.
