Impending Strike in the German Ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven

We have received some important information in regards to a possible impending strike in the German ports of Hamburg and Bremerhaven.

Warning strikes may occur in the coming days before the next round of wage negotiations with the German trade union VERDI set to take place on June 10th. They can last up to 4 hours! During this time, no terminal operations will take place, this includes loading and unloading of trains.

The potential strikes will affect services to and from Hamburg and Bremerhaven, and it is necessary to take into account further delays in the already disrupted supply chain.

This is preliminary information. We continue to monitor the situation and provide updates.
