MSC updates regarding the situation in Isreal

GENEVA : MSC continues to monitor and assess the developing situation in Israel to ensure the safety of its personnel and minimize disruption to customer supply chains.

Currently, Israel’s major ports continue to function and both road and rail are fully operational in and around the country.

Bookings continue to be accepted to and from Israel, including selected IMO goods subject to the new government restrictions.

To ensure continued flexibility and facilitation of our customers’ logistics operations, we have developed a suite of assistance for customers with cargo in Israel or bound for Israel:

Detention and Demurrage (D&D) – For import containers discharged in ASH or HFA, MSC will stop the clock for the period between 8 October 2023 and 8 November 2023, which will be considered as free days*.

*Valid until further notice and will be reviewed according to the situation.

MSC will continue to analyze and evaluate events as they develop and will communicate all new information and any changes to our customers as they occur.

Our staff are continuing to work remotely to ensure continuity of our operations and customer service and we thank them for their ongoing commitment.

If you have any further questions or require assistance, please contact your local MSC representatives.
