No End in Sight for Labor disputes at Rotterdam APM Terminals
A labor dispute at APM Terminals in Rotterdam that has disrupted shipping at one of Europe’s largest container handling facilities for over a week shows no sign of an early end, JOC reports. Ocean carriers are mulling whether to bypass the terminal as the strike by around 700 workers is delaying the departure of ships by several hours. Vessels that do sail on time are leaving boxes on the docks. The industrial action, over a new wage contract, has ranged from six-hour walkouts to 10-minute stoppages every hour to do exercises.
