More rockets were fired by Hezbollah militants at the port city of Haifa last week causing the continued irregularities of the port's operation.
 
Port of Haifa director general Amos Uzani said last week that since the beginning of the crisis, Haifa Port had lost over NIS 30 million revenue mainly due to the fact it was operating at 15-20% of capacity.
 
Uzani added that foreign multinational shipping companies including Italy’s MSC (Mediterranean Shipping Company SA ) COSCO Shipping Co. Ltd., China Shipping Group and Grimaldi Group had diverted their ships to the port of Ashdod or to nearby ports.
 
Uzani noted, however, that only ships owned or chartered by Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd had not diverted their ships and were calling at Haifa Port.
