Israel-Hamas conflict disrupts ports, shipping companies urge caution

Amid the conflict, Israel's Port of Ashkelon and its oil terminal have ceased operations.

Maersk confirms that its port operations at Israel's major terminals are running without disruption.

Bookings for cargo to and from Israel are still being accepted by Maersk.

The region's inland services, encompassing road and rail, remain in full operation.

MSC shares a similar stance, noting that Israel's primary terminals are operational, with cargo services continuing.

MSC commits to closely monitoring the security situation's impact on trade and will adjust its service network as per government advice.
