MSC informed the client: "Currently, major ports in Israel continue to operate, including the main terminals in Ashdod and Haifa. However, due to increased security checks and labor shortages, Ashdod is currently experiencing congestion, resulting in increased waiting times. Inland services, including roads and railways, are still fully operational throughout the country and surrounding areas.
The company stated that it will continue to accept bookings to Israel, but warned that "due to government restrictions on certain United Nations regulations, certain dangerous goods cannot be released at Ashdod Port." Therefore, it is currently impossible to create new orders for restricted dangerous goods. If the affected goods are already in transit, we will develop emergency plans to unload them at other ports, and we will promptly notify customers of any changes in the destination of the goods
MSC added that its office in Israel has been closed.
Maersk stated that it will continue to accept booking and its services will "remain operational" - except for dangerous goods in Haifa and Ashdod.
