While taking advantage of the Ashkelon port's proximity to the large chemical plants in southern Israel (Ramat Hovav, Mishor Rotem, Nahal Zin and the Dead Sea), EAPC plans to construct a terminal in Ashkelon for loading and unloading liquid chemicals from ocean-going tankers. The tanks will have a nominal volume of 200-10,000 cubic meters. The terminal will have filling stations for loading and unloading chemicals to and from tanker lorries and railway cars.
