🇮🇱 Israel
Red Sea · General Cargo Port
IL has an elevated Country Instability Index (75/100). Active conflict, governance disruption, or proxy-war involvement create operational and reputational risk for vessel operators.
Voyages to or from Eilat in Israel face the highest sustained kinetic threat of any commercial corridor. Since late 2023, Houthi forces in Yemen have attacked vessels in the southern Red Sea and Bab-el-Mandeb strait using anti-ship ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, naval mines, and unmanned surface vehicles. Major container lines have diverted around the Cape of Good Hope at significant cost. The Joint War Committee listed area covers the entire southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and war risk premiums for transit have surged. Some underwriters now impose Houthi-related exclusion clauses. The corridor also passes through waters adjacent to Eritrea, Sudan, and Somalia — each with distinct port-state instability and sanctions exposure.
No port-call data observed at Eilat in the last 180 days. ArcNautical's AIS coverage focuses on the world's commercial shipping lanes; smaller or specialised ports may not register sufficient traffic for a meaningful breakdown.
Eilat falls under the Mediterranean MoU. The Mediterranean Memorandum of Understanding does not publish a public bulk detention feed. Member states (Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia) operate under harmonised PSC protocols. Vessel-level detention probability is computed by ArcNautical using flag-state performance and on-board condition signals.
