DSV IL – Flash update 02/03/2026

Dear Customers,

Below are several updates regarding supply chain operations in Israel following the current security situation:

Despite the closure of Israeli airspace, DSV offers alternative solutions for both import and export cargo:

Alternative Logistics Solutions

Export from Israel – A combined sea/air solution: Cargo departs from Haifa Port to Piraeus or additional European ports, followed by air transport to the final destinations.
Import to Israel – A combined air/sea solution: Cargo is flown from the origin to Piraeus or other European ports, and from there shipped by sea to Haifa Port.
Land Border Crossings – Currently closed for cargo movement under Home Front Command directives; therefore, land-based solutions are not possible at this time. We are monitoring developments, and once the crossings reopen, a land-based alternative will be offered.

DSV teams remain fully at your disposal and are available to provide tailored solutions for all your shipments — please reach out to us at any time.
