2月6日，两次强震突袭土耳其东南部和叙利亚北部地区，并对土耳其第二大港伊斯肯德伦港造成严重破坏，全球供应链面临严峻挑战。罗素集团（Russell Group）的分析数据显示，由地震引发的伊斯肯德伦港集装箱堆场火灾事故，预计将造成6.79亿美元的损失，并影响3670万美元的钢铁出口和5140万美元的塑料材料进口。据悉，地震造成该港部分建筑物倒塌，集装箱堆场发生火灾，港口被迫关闭。多家航运公司宣布推迟该港的货物运输，或将货物转运至附近的梅尔辛港。

        On February 6st, two major earthquakes in southeastern Turkey and Syria have caused extensive disruption to Turkish air and sea terminals, threatening global supply chains. The container fire at the Port of Iskenderun, Turkey will cause a loss in trade of around $679m, according to Russell Group. Further analysis shows that a $36.7m disruption in Iron and Steel exports and $51.4m in plastic materials imports is expected to be disrupted by the fire. It is understood that parts of the Iskenderun port collapsed and operations were halted, with the shipping complex suffering from a series of fires on Monday. As a result the port has been closed with many shipping lines postponing or diverting shipments to Mersin, one of Turkey’s largest ports.

Tips：伊斯肯德伦港位于土耳其东南沿海伊斯肯德伦湾东岸，濒临地中海的东北侧。伊斯肯德伦地区是该国主要的钢铁生产地区之一，累积了超过1500万吨的产能。该地区拥有众多钢铁生产商、轧钢厂和加工厂，此次地震导致的设备受损、人员伤亡、运营受限，使该地区钢铁产业面临着数十年来从未有过的挑战。
