The previously announced two-week political strike in protest against the Finnish governments actions will continue to complete 4 weeks of duration.

AKT (Finnish Transport Workers’ Union) has informed, that the strike affecting stevedoring sector will continue until 8th of April, continuing to affect port operations including unloading, loading, receiving and releasing units. We continue to serve with adjusted operations (continuing with our regular opening hours) in the terminal, transport and customs services.

The additional costs caused by containers standing in the ports (container rent and field fees etc) are expected to increase and the congestion in services after the strike to increase due to the prolonged situation.
