BDS movement protestors hounding MSC vessels for allegedly carrying raw materials for Israeli military
A group of protestors aligned with the BDS movement (boycott, divestment, and sanctions) launched a new effort, hounding MSC container ships, which they alleged were transporting raw materials for the Israeli military. They were calling on trade unions, civil society, and political parties to join an effort to pressure the governments and authorities from Italy to Greece to Spain to respond to the alleged shipments. The group was targeting the 'MSC Vega', which called at Piraeus on March 18, 2026, and at Cagliari on March 24, and the 'MSC Danit' (IMO: 9404649) arriving in the Mediterranean from India and making calls at Sines on March 15, and Abu Qir on March 23. The allegations were that the 'MSC Danit' had about eight containers on board, which they claimed were carrying Indian steel bound for armament manufacturers in Israel. They also asserted that a previous shipment had consisted of 23 containers carrying 600 tons of military steel. The activists claimed that they were successful in prompting a cargo inspection in Italy. They also said Greek dock workers had said they would not handle any containers with military cargo bound for Israel.
