\n\tContainer shipping firm A.P Moller Maersk has temporarily suspended operations at the container terminal at Oman\u2019s Port of Salalah after an Iranian drone attack on Saturday.<\/p>\n


\n\tOperations at the port have been put on hold for 48 hours,\u00a0subject to change as inspections progress, the company said in a note to its customers on Monday.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cThe damage in the container terminal is still undergoing assessment, Maersk said in the note.<\/p>\n


\n\t\u201cExperts are inspecting the damaged crane, and divers are marking obstructed underwater sections.”<\/p>\n


\n\tMaersk added that the affected area remains limited and is not expected to significantly impact the terminal\u2019s overall operations or capacity once activities resume.<\/p>\n


\n\tVessels currently en route to Salalah will still call at the port, though delays are anticipated due to the disruption.<\/p>\n


\n\tIran has continued launching missile and drone attacks on Gulf countries in retaliation for US and Israeli strikes, more than a month into the conflict.<\/p>\n


\n\tThis comes amid reports that the US may be preparing ground operations, potentially escalating the situation further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Salalah terminal operations have been paused for 48 hours.
