🌐 The world's largest airfreight forwarder
Danish logistics giant DSV completed a 14.3 billion euro acquisition on April 30, 2025 that made it the world's largest airfreight forwarder, with roughly 160,000 employees in more than 90 countries. It markets "government logistics" for conflict areas, including hazardous cargo.
DSV Israel describes itself as having more than 70 years of experience and 14 branches across the country, serving industries "including defense." An archived DSV page listed its strategic Israel locations as "Haifa, Ashdod, Nitzana, Kiryat Gat, Nevatim, Ben Gurion and many more" (archive).
📄 Reported logistics partner of Elbit Systems
After Elbit Systems' previous logistics provider in Britain confirmed it had ended all business with the arms maker as of late 2023, reporting identifies DSV as the successor. The investigative outlet The Ditch reported in May 2026 that "DSV managed both weapons shipments. It's Elbit's main logistics partner," documenting a Danish-owned ship that left Chennai, India carrying 60 tonnes of missile components and a container of artillery gun barrels for Elbit's Yokneam plant, plus 70 tonnes of defence components for its Ramat Hasharon facility, routed to Haifa.
Novara Media reported weekly DSV shipments from Elbit's British factories toward Ashdod, attributing the cargo details to campaigners, and a March 2026 action shut a DSV depot in Manchester, stopping two shipments bound for Elbit and a subsidiary, according to the group involved. DSV has not publicly responded to the reporting. Every claim in this section is attributed to the outlet that published it.
🗽 The New York and New Jersey footprint
DSV Air & Sea Inc.'s principal US address in federal transportation records is 200 S.

Does DSV ship weapons for Elbit Systems?
That is what investigative reporting says. The Ditch reported in May 2026 that DSV is Elbit's main logistics partner and managed shipments of missile components and artillery gun barrels from India to Elbit plants, and Novara Media reported weekly shipments from Elbit's British factories, attributing cargo details to campaigners. DSV has not publicly responded to the reporting. On this page each claim is attributed to the outlet that published it; there is no court or government finding.
Where is DSV located in the New York area?
DSV Air and Sea Inc.'s principal US address in federal transportation records is 200 S. Wood Ave in Iselin, New Jersey. Its own location pages list an office at 70 E Sunrise Highway in Valley Stream, New York, minutes from the JFK cargo campus at the center of this campaign's map, a warehouse in Port Reading, New Jersey, and Newark among its 38 US locations.
Why is DSV not in databases like Who Profits or AFSC Investigate?
Because the reported DSV and Elbit Systems relationship is recent. The main corporate-accountability databases carried no DSV profile as of mid-2026, and the investigative reporting that identifies DSV as Elbit's logistics partner dates from 2026, after those databases' last major updates. That absence reflects timing, not a finding either way. This page compiles the primary reporting directly, with each claim attributed to its source.
