Abstract

The article focuses on industrial actions at the Port of Rotterdam and the Port of Antwerp-Bruges, which are causing significant delivery delays in Europe’s logistics hubs. Workers known as lashers at the Port of Rotterdam initiated a 48-hour strike demanding a 7% wage increase, impacting container terminal operations. Concurrently, pilots at the Port of Antwerp are conducting a work-to-rule action in protest of federal pension reforms, leading to further delays in vessel scheduling. Shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S has warned customers of potential disruptions, highlighting the broader implications for international trade amid existing challenges in global supply chains.
