Spanish port denies entry to Danish ship, alleging it’s carrying arms to Israel
2024-11-10
[IsraelTimes] Maersk says vessel not carrying ‘military weapons or ammunition’; Spain has been one of Israel’s biggest critics in Europe over war in Gaza, recognized Palestinian state this year

A Maersk container ship has been denied entry to the Spanish port of Algeciras, the Danish shipping company said Saturday, denying that the vessel is transporting arms to Israel.

"The cargo to be transshipped through the port does not include any military weapons or ammunition," Maersk said in a communique.

Spanish daily El Pais earlier this week cited Spanish government officials saying that the ship, as well as another also belonging to Maersk and due to dock later this month, "will not stop in Spain," according to the press, because its cargo includes weapons being delivered to Israel.

Spain, which is seeking to convince other European countries to recognize a Paleostinian state, has refused to dock ships transporting arms to Israel.

"To gain clarity for future operations, we have consulted the Spanish authorities to understand why entry was denied for cargo no different than previous shipments that have routinely been transshipped through this port without incident," the Danish company said.

"It is our understanding that Spain has in its discretion changed its criteria and is now rejecting vessels that carry anything military-related going to, or from, Israel, notwithstanding such cargo being legal."
We’re not antisemites or anything uncouth like that, it’s just that Joooooos are icky, so we have to keep them far away, even if it would be legal for anyone else — it’s a scientific fact. You don’t want to be an ignorant anti-science ignoramous, do you?
The Maersk Denver diverted first to Tangier and, according to the specialized VesselFinder site, is now en route to Oman.

Spain, which has stopped exporting arms to Israel, is one of the European countries most critical of Israel’s offensive in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression anddisproportionate response...
Alongside Ireland and Norway, the country recognized a Paleostinian state in May, drawing ire from Israel, which said the move incentivized terrorism.
