At TheMarker Labels’s Trade Forward Conference, Gadot Group CEO Opher Linchevski shared why energy security begins long before a crisis.
For Israel, where most fuels and critical raw materials arrive by sea, resilience is not only about maintaining reserves.
It is about having the infrastructure to import, receive, store and distribute them under any circumstances.
Across Gadot Group, resilience is built through integrated infrastructure.
Gadot operates an end-to-end supply chain that includes a fleet of 15 chemical tankers, marine terminals, approximately 630 million liters of storage capacity, around 140 road tankers, and nationwide logistics capabilities, helping ensure the continuous flow of essential raw materials and fuels across the country.
Looking ahead, Gadot Group is advancing the development of an additional fuel import gateway through the Pi Glilot Ashdod terminal, strengthening Israel’s infrastructure resilience and long-term energy security by creating an additional entry point for fuel imports, connecting marine infrastructure with storage terminals and the national pipeline network, and reducing dependence on a single critical facility.
In parallel, Gadot Israel has developed dedicated infrastructure for bitumen, including specialized heated storage and handling capabilities, helping ensure the continuous supply of this critical material for Israel’s national infrastructure projects.
As Opher concluded:
“National resilience is not built during a crisis. It is built years in advance through resilient trade infrastructure.”
