Maersk Halts Haifa Operations Amid Middle East Tensions
- On June 20, 2025, Maersk announced a temporary suspension of its ship operations at the port of Haifa in Israel due to the intensifying conflict with Iran.
- This pause came after Iran's Revolutionary Guards carried out a combined assault using missiles and drones targeting Israeli defense-related locations in Haifa and Tel Aviv on June 19, 2025.
- Haifa port, privatized in 2022 and majority-owned by Adani Ports, handles about one-third of Israel's container imports and 20 million tons of cargo annually.
- Gartner VP David Gonzalez said, "The port at Haifa is Israel's busiest and most important link," warning accessibility constraints would pressure regional infrastructure.
- Maersk's halt highlights challenges for firms in volatile areas, while other carriers maintain operations and Maersk redirects vessels to the Port of Ashdod.
