In light of the ongoing conflict and increasing security risks in the Middle East region, regional restrictions and operational adjustments are being implemented across international transportation routes. Within this framework, route changes, additional security controls, and transshipment planning have been activated on certain sea, air, and rail corridors.
However, we would like to emphasize that:
As Arkas Logistics Group, our operations continue uninterrupted. Alternative scenarios across all modes of transport have been activated, risk analyses have been updated, and operational continuity has been secured. Below, you may find the latest status updates regarding sea, air, and rail transport operations.
Vessels operated by Maersk, CMA CGM, and Hapag-Lloyd will continue their voyages via the Cape of Good Hope route. MSC has suspended Suez Canal transits and bookings to the Middle East region until further notice. We continue to closely monitor other carriers’ Suez Canal transits and will provide necessary updates accordingly.
Additionally, carriers have announced the implementation of War Risk Surcharges.
Various restrictions and temporary suspensions are being experienced in air cargo operations. As a result, delays, rerouting, or cancellations may occur, and congestion may arise at certain transshipment hubs.
Operations are currently restricted or fully suspended until further notice at the following airports:
Our rail services from China to Türkiye and Europe via the Baku–Tbilisi–Kars (BTK) Railway Line continue without interruption.
As Arkas Logistics Group, we are managing this process in a controlled and resilient manner through our strong operational infrastructure, extensive agency network, and alternative routing capabilities. We continue to closely monitor developments and actively utilize all available resources to maintain operational stability.
All relevant updates and operational changes will be communicated to our valued business partners in a timely manner.
