On June 8, the Palestinian Youth Movement\u2019s Mask off Maersk Campaign published a report with Oxfam Denmark demonstrating that Maersk has continued to ship weapons to Israel amid its genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, despite claiming otherwise.<\/p>\n

The shipments include \u201cparts for bullets, bombs, mortars and projectile bodies\u201d which have been \u201ccentral\u201d to weapons used by Israel to slaughter civilians in Gaza and now Lebanon, . In 2025, Danish shipping and logistics giant Maersk denied sending weapons to Israel, claiming to have \u201cmaintained a strict policy of not shipping weapons or ammunition to Israel.\u201d But the report reveals components of weapons shipped by Maersk to Elbit Systems facilities in Israel from October 2023 through 2025 \u2014 many of which came from suppliers in the U.S. <\/p>\n

The shipments, the report says, demonstrate that Maersk is \u201ca critical artery connecting U.S. military producers with Israeli military facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

The research was compiled by analyzing shipping records and bills of lading \u2013 which document receipts of shipping cargo \u2013 and clearly showed relationships between Elbit Systems, Israel\u2019s Ministry of Defense, and Maersk. The report states that Maersk \u201chas facilitated a direct industrial pipeline from the United States to Israel.\u201d <\/p>\n

The report also notes that the bullet cores shipped by Maersk were the same class of bullets that Israeli forces used to shoot and kill 5-year-old Hind Rajab in Gaza in January 2024.<\/p>\n

Maersk responded to the report by once again denying the company\u2019s shipments of weapons to Israel since 2023: \u201cFrom the outset of the conflict, we have maintained a strict policy of not shipping weapons or ammunition to Israel,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

However, this statement conveniently avoids mentioning that the company continues to ship components of weapons, if not intact and completed weapons. <\/p>\n

\u201cTheir actual practice is to completely ignore the policies that they have on the books,\u201d Nadya Tannous, international coordinator for the #MaskOffMaersk campaign, told Middle East Eye.<\/em>\u201cOur question to Maersk is: What\u2019s a weapon? You don\u2019t ship weapons, so what is a weapon?\u201d<\/p>\n

The campaign and report call for Maersk to immediately halt its shipments of weapons components to Israel. \u201cWe don\u2019t want policy statements, we want material change from the company,\u201d Tannous said.<\/p>\n

In March 2025, when Maersk denied shipping arms to Israel, it simultaneously admitted that it shipped military-related cargo. \u201cWhen we draw a line between what we accept to transport and what we don\u2019t, it\u2019s done after a very careful assessment and considering recommendations and regulations,\u201d Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc told shareholders at the time. \u201cWe realize that our line may not coincide with the wishes of everybody.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cFor years, Maersk has lied about the scale to which they are supplying Israel with the tools necessary to commit genocide in Gaza,\u201d Tannous told Truthout<\/em>. \u201cMaersk facilitated the transport of bullets Israel used to snipe Palestinian children in the head, shipping everything but the explosives itself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf Maersk halted services to Russia due to the Russia\u2013Ukraine war, why are they continuing to evade responsibility for shipping military cargo to Israel? Maersk is not able to deceive us or minimize its central role in facilitating genocide any longer. We call on Maersk to immediately halt all military cargo shipments to Israel indefinitely, or face international consequences and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n
