Strike announcement

Upd. 5.4.2024: The political strikes will end on Monday, April 8, 2024

According to the Finnish Confederation of Trade Unions (SAK)’ announcement, the political strikes of SAK’s unions will be suspended on April 8, 2024 at 6:00.

The four-week-long political labor strikes have caused congestion in the ports and disrupted equipment balance. Additionally, the unloading and loading of shipping containers at the ports have been halted during the political labor disputes. Our customers should be prepared for the possibility that clearing the congestion and returning to normal operations may take several weeks.
