Israel operations update

As your integrated logistics partner, our aim is to give you the best ability to manage your supply chain. This is of the utmost importance to us, and our goal is to ensure that you have the necessary information to better plan your logistical network. In line with this, we would like to inform you about the latest developments in the Middle East.

After carefully analysing threat risk reports regarding the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran - particularly the potential risks of calling specific Israeli ports and their implications for the safety of our crews, Maersk has made the decision to temporarily suspend vessel calls at the Port of Haifa, Israel and also suspend cargo acceptance for Haifa.

The safety and security of our seafarers and operations are our top priorities. We have taken this proactive measure to safeguard our people, assets, and customers’ cargo in light of increased regional instability.

We are in close contact with customers who may be impacted by this decision and are working to provide alternative transport solutions to minimise disruption. We will continue to closely monitor the situation and stand ready to reassess this decision as soon as it is safe and feasible to do so. Further updates will be shared as new information becomes available. At the same time, we continue to call the port in Ashdod and are making arrangements to offer our customers alternative solutions.

We continue to provide inland services in Israel based on the current setup with local partners.
