The company states that a key factor behind the decision is concern for the safety of crews, cargo, and operational infrastructure.
“This is a precautionary measure aimed at protecting our employees, assets, and customers’ goods in the face of growing instability in the region,” the shipping company said.
Maersk assures that it remains in constant contact with customers affected by the decision and is working on alternative transport solutions to minimise disruption to supply chains.
The company has declared its readiness to resume calls to the Israeli port as soon as the situation allows for safe navigation.
