Maersk stops Iran service

  • Iran: Thursday, October 11 - 2012 at 02:05

The world's biggest container shipping company, Maersk Line has decided to stop port calls to Iran, as Western sanctions pressure on the Islamic Republic mounts, Reuters has reported. "This is a pragmatic decision based on an assessment of balancing the benefits of doing limited business in Iran against the risk of damaging business opportunities elsewhere particularly the US," a spokeswoman for the Danish firm said. "Maersk Line will maintain a dormant business entity in Iran and will look to resume business should the sanctions regime be eased."
