AP Moller-Maersk, the shipping conglomerate, stated today that in order to offset rising insurance costs brought on by the security situation, it will impose additional risk fees next year on container shipments to Israel.
Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
“With the transition to 2024, insurance premiums for ships heading to Israel continue to rise, leading Maersk to officially apply an additional Emergency Risk Surcharge (ERS),” according to the Danish company statement.
It added, “The additional fees will be used to accommodate the additional insurance costs and ultimately ensure continuous and sustainable service to our customers in Israel.”
Customers will be subject to additional fees starting on January 8, according to Maersk, the largest container shipping firm in the world. The fees for 20-foot containers will be $50, while the fees for 40- and 45-foot containers will be $100.
The decision to expand the prohibition on Israeli ship activity to the Arabian Sea was earlier announced by Sana’a forces spokesman Brigadier General Yahya Saree in his most recent statement concerning Yemeni operations targeting the Israeli city of Umm Al-Rashrash.
Expanding the ban on ship activity in the Arabian Sea may inflict further losses on the Israeli occupation, especially considering its reliance on Gulf oil, and it may paralyze its ship movements in the entire region.
