Controversy Erupts as 'Fortune' Delivers Coal Cargo to Israel
The bulk carrier 'Fortune' has ignited significant controversy by transporting a coal shipment intended for Hadera, Israel. This delivery breaches a crucial decree from the Colombian government, which prohibits coal exports to Israel in light of serious concerns regarding the state's actions in Gaza. The vessel set sail from Colombia on July 24, 2025, and is expected to arrive on August 14. Under Colombian law, coal is categorized as a 'dual-use item', potentially aiding military operations beyond its typical role in energy production. Activists have condemned the shipment for violating the 2024 ban imposed by President Gustavo Petro on coal exports to Israel. In response to the situation, President Petro has threatened to mobilize the Colombian Navy to intercept any vessels heading to Israel. Notably, the 'Fortune' has refrained from disclosing its location for the last nine days, raising further concerns about the legality of its cargo.
