Amman, March 4 (Petra) – Danish shipping giant Maersk, one of the world’s largest maritime transport firms, announced the suspension of cargo bookings to and from several Arabian Gulf destinations “until further notice,” following its assessment of developments on the fifth day of the war in the Middle East.
