Trading restrictions imposed by Malaysia
The following is applicable at all Malaysian ports according to information received from local contacts.
- Any vessel under the Israeli flag is prohibited from entering Malaysian ports
- Any vessel irrespective of flag is not allowed to discharge cargo if of Israeli origin at a Malaysian port.
Although Malaysia has no written regulations governing trade restrictions as far as merchant vessels are concerned, the above is due to the fact that Malaysia does not have any diplomatic ties with Israel.
