The following release was published by Hapag-Lloyd:
If you are shipping with our IG1 and KWF services, please note the following update that may impact your cargo planning. The current security situation in the Middle East, especially in and around the Upper Gulf, is affecting vessel movements and port operations across the region.
Effective March 6, 2026, and until further notice:
- Temporary suspension of the IG1 and KWF services: Due to the ongoing operational and security constraints in the Upper Gulf region, these services will be suspended until a revised and safe port rotation has been determined.
- Evaluation of a revised service setup: Our teams are currently assessing alternative port rotations and service configurations. Once confirmed, we will communicate the updated rotation and operational details.
