S.W., SEATTLE, WASH. 98134 PHONE 206-623-2072 • CABLE L0CKSHIP Israeli Port Projects To Cost $100 Million The Israeli Government has approved close to $100 million in expenditures allocated for the expansion of cargo handling ca- pacity at two ports. Nearly $84 million has been appropriated for a four-to-five- year project at Ashdod Port on the Mediterranean, where plans include the construction of a sec- ond containership pier, a phos- phate pier, grain silo and ware- house, and renewal of existing equipment. The Government has also given the go-ahead to the building of a container pier at the Red Sea port of Eilat. Estimated cost of that project is about $14,300,000. Still on the drawing boards are plans to in- crease by 3i/2 times the capacity of the Port of Gaza. In order to raise the annual tonnage capabil- ity at the shallow-water port from 200,000 to 700,000 tons, designers are contemplating the construc- tion of a mile and a half long pier which would facilitate deepwater loading and unloading of much larger vessels than the port can currently handle. According to a French firm which studies the idea, the cost of the project should come to no more than $12 million. Navy Awards Contract To CSP Inc.
