“KCC” update related to the situation in the Middle East
Oslo, 02 March 2026: Klaveness Combination Carriers ("KCC") currently has one vessel in the Middle East Gulf. Based on the latest security assessment, the vessel continues to discharge its dry bulk cargo at a port in the UAE. The situation at the port is being closely monitored.
KCC has no other vessels inbound to the Middle East Gulf. One vessel is scheduled to load a cargo later this week at a port in Oman in the Arabian Sea, located outside the current war risk zone.
Through ongoing dialogue with our ship manager, Klaveness Ship Management/OSM Thome, we are monitoring the rapidly changing situation and will take all necessary measures to safeguard our crew and vessels. The safety of our people and assets remains our top priority as we seek to maintain reliable service to our customers in the region.
