As a result of the earthquake in Turkey and Syria on Monday 6 February 2023, the Port of Iskenderun obtained significant damage and a subsequent fire broke out amongst containers at the #Terminal in the evening.
A.P. Moller – #Maersk teams have been working to assess the situation and potential loss of cargo, but at this time the fire is yet to be controlled fully by local authorities on the ground.
It’s not yet known how long recovery efforts will take and when the port can undergo a full inspection of the damage.
Maersk is doing all in their power and control, including working closely with the terminal, to accelerate a resolution to the situation. Maersk is committed to supporting your logistics operations and will outline all information and next steps as a result of the fire in due course.
