LONDON - The world's top two container shipping groups Maersk Line and MSC are reviewing their Iran operations after the United States withdrawal from the international nuclear agreement with Tehran.
"MSC is reviewing its services, operations and business relationships to understand if any are impacted and will comply with the timetable set out by the US government," the private Swiss-headquartered group said in a statement on Friday.
Denmark's Maersk Line said separately it had ceased acceptance of the specific cargoes listed by the US Treasury this week.
"Our presence in Iran is limited. We will monitor the developments to assess any impact on our activities," Maersk Line added.
The group also used feeder services to Iran from Jebel Ali.
