These transfers? They're supposedly against international conventions, especially if military equipment, weapons, or components were used in Israeli army operations that breach international rules. Zen Donen, the shareholder, dropped the bomb to AFP.
Fuppa' Around #Mærsk #Middle East 💭
#Mærsk has been dealing with some serious heat regarding arms shipments to Israel. Accusations? **Over 2,000 US shipments** for Israel's Ministry of Defense, including armored vehicles and weapon system components. Also, F-35 fighter jet parts via Morocco’s Tanger Med Port, although Maersk denies they were destined for Israel[1]. Protests in Tangier and other ports targeted Maersk vessels accused of transporting military cargo, with activists shouting that the company is "actively facilitating" weapons transfers[1][2][4].
Maersk's Clapback 🗣️
Denies direct military shipments: Claims F-35 components transported are for other nations in the multinational program, not Israel[5].
Rejects port protest allegations: Stated accusations about supplying Israel’s military are "false and misleading"[3][5].
Policy adherence: Maintains it does not transport weapons/ammunition to conflict zones and follows strict controls for Israel/Gaza-bound cargo[5].
The company admits it has been transporting defense-related components for suppliers but insists these are not directly for Israel's military[5].
