Israeli shippers seek compensation from government
A group representing Israeli shippers are seeking compensation for increased costs resulting from the war earlier this year with Lebanon.
A report on the web site Port2Port said that Gad Schaefer, Israel Shippers' Council chairman, estimated that war risk surcharges, shifting of trucks to Ashdod where many ships called when the port of Haifa was under attack, as well as the extra storage costs, were estimated to be around $24 million.
