The largest ship ever to embark in Israel is the 13,092 TEU Maersk Elba container ship, designated by Haifa Port as Isra-max. Maersk Elba arrived at the Carmel Terminal on February 2, 2017.
The Maersk Elba visit formally brings Haifa into an exclusive club of ports handling high-capacity 14,000 TEU mega ships.
