Evergreen Marine Corporation has suspended acceptance of new bookings for a number of Middle East ports as the security situation in the region continues to evolve.
The suspension applies immediately to shipments both to and from Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia (excluding Jeddah) and Iraq through the port of Umm Qasr.
Evergreen said the measure aims to safeguard crews, vessels and customers’ cargo, adding that local offices will contact customers with cargo already in transit or booked to arrange further logistics and handling options.
