Port Overview

Jaffa Port, UN/LOCODE ILJFA, is a historic Mediterranean harbor in Old Jaffa, within the Tel Aviv–Jaffa urban area of Israel. Its supplied coordinates are 32.0500000° N, 34.7500000° E. The port’s current role is principally that of a small fishing harbor, yacht harbor and recreational waterfront rather than a conventional container or general-cargo gateway. Restaurants, cafés, tourism activity and local marine operations share the waterfront. For international forwarding, our platform treats ILJFA as a location requiring operational verification, not as a standard FCL/LCL load port. Commercial containerized shipments for the Tel Aviv metropolitan market generally need to be planned through an appropriate commercial Israeli gateway, with the final destination and inland delivery arrangement confirmed before booking.

Key Highlights

Specialized harbor profileILJFA is primarily associated with fishing, leisure craft and waterfront activities, so its operating profile differs materially from a container port.

Urban locationIts position in Old Jaffa means that road access, vehicle size, delivery windows and local restrictions should be checked before arranging any movement.

Commercial gateway distinctionThe UN/LOCODE must not be used automatically as the discharge port for FCL or LCL cargo without written confirmation from the carrier or local agent.

Verification-led planningOur service team checks the actual receiving point, cargo acceptance, customs route and final-mile arrangement before issuing a firm operation plan.

Facilities & Services

Marine activity: Fishing vessels, yachts and other small craft are the relevant operating users identified for the harbor. Berth allocation and access should be confirmed directly for any non-standard marine movement.
Container handling: The supplied port record shows no FCL, LCL or automotive handling volume, and ILJFA should not be assumed to provide container yard, quay-crane or regular stuffing and stripping services.
Breakbulk and project cargo: Any oversized, heavy or non-standard cargo requires advance confirmation of berth access, lifting equipment, temporary storage and local handling responsibility.
Warehousing and inspection: No dedicated commercial warehouse or customs inspection facility is established in the supplied data. Our team arranges these functions through a suitable commercial gateway or approved inland facility when required.
Inland connection: The harbor is situated in a dense urban environment. Truck routing, parking, unloading space, access hours and vehicle dimensions should be validated before dispatch.

Routes & Transit Times

Import containers: For standard FCL or LCL cargo destined for the Tel Aviv–Jaffa area, our platform normally evaluates the appropriate commercial Israeli seaport first, followed by bonded or cleared inland delivery to the consignee.
Export cargo: The export routing depends on the confirmed commercial gateway, carrier acceptance, customs status, equipment availability and the shipper’s cargo profile; ILJFA should not be advertised as having regular liner coverage without confirmation.
Feeder or transshipment planning: Where a mainline or feeder connection is required, the applicable schedule, transshipment port and cut-off are carrier-specific and may change. We quote only after receiving a current sailing confirmation.
Time-sensitive factors: Port selection, security procedures, customs inspection, documentation corrections, urban delivery restrictions, equipment release and public holidays can all affect the final transit time. Any estimate is subject to actual carrier and terminal confirmation.

Hinterland & Key Cargo

Primary commercial area: Jaffa and the wider Tel Aviv metropolitan area form the practical destination context, but the exact delivery point may fall under a different municipal, terminal or customs arrangement.
Local harbor cargo: Fishing-related supplies, marine equipment, yacht provisions and tourism-related goods are more consistent with the harbor’s stated operating profile than regular containerized trade.
Urban commercial cargo: Retail, hospitality, food service and project deliveries may be relevant to the surrounding metropolitan market, subject to delivery access and import compliance.
Industrial and nationwide distribution: Cargo for other Israeli regions should be routed according to the consignee’s warehouse, customs broker and transport economics rather than selecting ILJFA solely by city name.

Operations & Compliance

Booking and cut-off: There is no universal ILJFA container cut-off to rely on. Our service team obtains the actual carrier, terminal or local-agent closing time and distinguishes documentation cut-off, cargo cut-off and truck appointment requirements.
Port-code accuracy: Confirm that the bill of lading, arrival notice, customs declaration and delivery order use the correct commercial gateway. Do not substitute ILJFA for another Israeli port because the consignee is located in Jaffa or Tel Aviv.
Dangerous goods: SDS, UN number, proper shipping name, packing group, container packing certificate and carrier approval may be required. Dangerous goods acceptance must be secured before booking; small-harbor waterfront access must not be presumed.
Customs and inspection: Commercial cargo may be subject to Israeli import documentation, permits, tariff classification, security screening or physical inspection. Our team coordinates with the importer’s licensed customs broker and does not treat a recreational harbor as a customs-clearance point without confirmation.
Inland delivery: Check truck dimensions, crane or tail-lift needs, delivery access, time windows, parking and consignee unloading capability. These controls are especially important in the historic urban area around Old Jaffa.

Shipping Tips

Start with the cargo profile: Send our service team the commodity, dimensions, gross weight, packing method, dangerous-goods status, delivery address and required date before selecting the port code.
Request a gateway check: For FCL, LCL, reefer, oversized or project cargo, obtain written confirmation of the receiving terminal, customs location, equipment availability and inland transfer plan.
Prepare documents early: Align commercial invoice, packing list, transport document instructions, permits, certificates and importer details before the carrier’s documentation deadline. Corrections close to sailing may cause roll-over or inspection delay.
Keep alternatives open: If ILJFA cannot accept the cargo, our platform can compare a suitable commercial Israeli gateway, inland bonded movement and final-mile delivery rather than forcing cargo into an unsuitable harbor operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I book a standard FCL shipment directly to ILJFA?

Not without confirmation. ILJFA is described as a small fishing, yacht and recreational harbor, not as a regular container terminal. Our team first verifies carrier acceptance, the physical receiving facility, customs location and inland delivery route.

Is ILJFA the correct port code for cargo delivered to Tel Aviv?

Not necessarily. A consignee address in Tel Aviv or Jaffa does not determine the discharge port. We match the booking code to the actual commercial gateway and then arrange inland delivery to the consignee.

Can fishing or yacht-related equipment be delivered to the harbor?

Possibly, but acceptance depends on the harbor operator, berth availability, cargo dimensions, lifting method, customs status and local access conditions. Our service team obtains prior written approval before arranging delivery.

What information is needed for a dangerous-goods enquiry?

Provide the SDS, UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class, packing group, package details, net and gross weight, transport mode and final delivery requirements. No dangerous-goods booking should be treated as confirmed until carrier and receiving-point approval is obtained.

How should I estimate transit time for an ILJFA-related shipment?

Use the confirmed commercial gateway, sailing schedule, transshipment plan, customs process and inland delivery appointment as the timing basis. Our quoted estimate remains subject to carrier, terminal, security and inspection conditions.

Data Sources & Provenance

Hard identifiers in this module—UN/LOCODE ILJFA, port and city name, country, coordinates and the supplied port description—are taken from the port record provided for this page. No unverified throughput, berth, draft, equipment, tariff, sailing frequency or transit-time figures have been added.

For current municipal access, waterfront activity and local administrative information, verification should be made through tel-aviv.gov.il. For Israeli customs, import documentation and regulatory requirements, our team and the importer’s broker should verify current requirements through gov.il.

Operational acceptance, carrier routing, customs-point designation, cut-offs, security procedures and delivery restrictions are time-sensitive and must be reconfirmed with the relevant carrier, terminal, harbor operator, customs broker and local transport provider before execution. The port record reports zero FCL, LCL and automotive entries; this is treated as a characteristic of the supplied dataset, not as a current capacity or throughput statistic.
