Since the outbreak of the Palestine-Israel conflict on 7th October, 2023, there are two main ports, Ashdod and Haifa, in Israels still functioning. However, Ashdod is currently experiencing congestion due to security checks and labor shortages, which leads to increased waiting time.
In addition, according to the latest regulation of government of Israel, a restriction for acceptance of dangerous goods has been implemented by ports. Therefore, shipping lines are no longer accepting bookings for dangerous goods from or to Ashdod and Haifa.
We will continue to closely monitor the situation and update you on the latest operational information.
