Beijing: China's shipping giant Cosco said on Wednesday that it was resuming new bookings for shipments to some Gulf countries, three weeks after it halted most bookings to the region in response to the Middle East war.
The state-owned firm "resumed new bookings for general cargo containers for shipments" to the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq "with immediate effect", according to a company statement.
"New booking arrangements and the actual carriage are subject to change due to the volatile situation in the Middle East region", it added.
