About 200 demonstrators gathered at California's Port of Oakland to protest this summer's military conflict in Gaza, preventing an Israeli-owned ship from unloading cargo.
Last month, similar protests took place in Florida, other areas of California, and again at the Port of Oakland; that time, the Zim Shanghai's sister ship, Zim Piraeus, was blocked for four days. Eventually, it traveled to Los Angeles, which is what the Zim Shanghai will do as well. Both ships are owned by Zim Integrated Shipping Services, the biggest cargo shipping business in Israel and one of the largest in the world.
