February 7th 2023. A.P. Moller – Maersk's logistics operations and services continue to be impacted by the earthquake in Turkey and Syria, which hit the region on Monday 6 February 2023 and provoked a number of aftershocks.
The Port of Iskenderun remains closed until further notice, as teams look to repair the significant damage caused by the disaster and subsequent fire.
Maersk is currently unable to say exactly how long operations will be stopped at the port, but the company will keep customers informed of the latest developments as soon as possible.
At this time, Maersk is not accepting any new bookings to and from Iskenderun. Maersk's teams are hard at work developing contingency plans involving nearby hubs and additional feeder vessels, with the aim of minimising the overall impact on customers and their supply chains.
