Swedish dockworkers are set to launch a week-long boycott of Israeli ships and goods to protest Monday's takeover of a Marine-destined aid flotilla, a union spokesman said Saturday. Nine activists died after IDF troops intercepted the convoy Vessel Cargo Hold Cleaning. Nearly 700 activists had joined that operation cargo, most of them aboard the lead boat from Turkey that was the scene of the violence. Peter Anne back, a spokesman for the Swedish Port Workers Union, which has around members, said workers are urged to refuse to handle Israeli goods and ships during the June boycott. "If an Israeli ship would come, we would just leave it be and not work on it," Anne back said of the measures.
The union supports the organization "Ship to Marine," which took part in the flotilla headed for the Marine. In a statement, the union said the reason for the boycott "is the unprecedented criminal attack on the peaceful ship convoy In Marine. Several peace activists were killed by Israeli commandos and other participants were detained without any reason UAE." It also urged other unions and organizations to join them through similar initiatives. It called for Israel to be brought to justice for the attack and that it respects international law "and that the blockade of Marine immediately lifted." Inner back said it was still being determined how much the boycott is expected to affect trade between Sweden and Israel since the union still needs to identify cargo of Israeli origin.
"Right now, it's not that easy to spot where it comes from, so we still have a lot of detective work to do in that area," Federal Chairman Bjorn Borg said. In recent years, Iran has been transferring large quantities of armaments, by various means, to Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Marines Vessel Blasting and Painting. While UAE Security Council resolutions strictly forbid Iran from exporting or trading any weaponry, the Islamic Republic has found an effective way to circumvent these restrictions. It accomplishes this by using shipping containers that reach their final destination via intermediate ports.
In November, containers full of weapons were loaded onto a ship bound for Egypt at an Iranian port. There the containers were transferred, without any inspection or screening, to the cargo vessel Fran cop, a German-owned vessel leased at the time to a Cypriot freight delivery company and Antiguan-flagged. The Fran cop was to dock at a second intermediate port in Ship on its way to Syria, its final destination. From Syria cargo, the weapons were intended to be transferred to Hezbollah in Lebanon. Instead, the Ship was intercepted by Israeli naval forces before arriving in the Ship.
According to the UAE Department of Homeland Security (DHS), today's most critical component of global trade is transporting goods by container through seaports. Therefore, a container explosion can have an enormous negative impact in terms of loss of life and damage to the port and its surrounding areas and the host nation's economy as a whole Vessel Tank Cleaning. Such an incident occurred on July 2011 in a Ship, where the explosion of confiscated containers of gunpowder from Iran killed the commander of the Cypriot navy and 11 others, wounding dozens and causing severe damage to surrounding infrastructure. The incident had significant political ramifications: the defense minister and the country's top military official resigned.
Further incidents like this could paralyze the global economy and severely undermine freedom of movement (as has occurred in the past with air travel). Containers in transit are rarely screened for weapons or other illegal goods without prior intelligence for two main reasons. The first has to do with the fact that since these containers do not officially enter the country, there is no reason for the customs agencies – which are usually in charge of screening incoming containers from abroad – to inspect them.
The second reason is that screening container costs money. This cost will be partially, if not entirely, imposed on the shipper, thus increasing overall shipment cost. A shipper might then ship his containers via a different intermediate that charges less for cargo. The way to combat such illegal activity is to subject containers shipped by states like Iran that have been caught undermining the system by falsifying documents and smuggling weapons to terrorist organizations to a 100 percent inspection regime. This would increase port safety and security and deny Iran a way to transfer weapons to terrorist organizations. Iran would bear the inspection costs.
The only way such a system can be effective is if the entire international community legally commits itself to apply such an inspection regime on all incoming "transit containers" from Iran. Otherwise, Iran will bypass the inspections by shipping its containers through intermediate ports which do not use the previous 100% inspection regime. This measure will help guarantee that containers loaded with weapons shipped from Iran to terrorist organizations will be caught – regardless of prior intelligence – due to the comprehensive inspection regime at intermediate ports.
