Extended Strike Action Affecting Rotterdam Operations

Extended Strike Action Affecting Rotterdam Operations

Published: 10. October 2025
Due to ongoing strike action in Rotterdam, there are delays impacting vessel departures and cargo operations. The strike, which began on October 8th, has been extended, resulting in revised departure and cargo release times. We are actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as they become available. We apologize for any disruptions and appreciate your understanding during this time.
We wish to inform you of ongoing developments regarding the industrial action in Rotterdam, which is currently impacting our operations.
 
The strike, stemming from a dispute over a collective labour agreement between lashing service providers and their employees, began on Wednesday, October 8th, at 15:15 hrs. Unfortunately, the action has been extended, further disrupting vessel operations.
 
Updated Impact on Operations:
 
  • Today's Departure: Due to the continued strike, the scheduled departure from Rotterdam today has been delayed. The new estimated departure time is now Tuesday, October 14th, late evening.
  • Cargo Release in Oslo: With the revised departure schedule, cargo release in Oslo is now expected on Friday, October 17th.
  • Future Departures: The planned departure on Tuesday, October 14th is still under review. While we currently do not have specific details on any further delays, we are in close communication with the terminal and will provide updates as soon as new information becomes available.
 
We understand the potential impact this may have on your operations and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Please be assured that we are working closely with all parties involved to minimize further delays and ensure that cargo continues to move as efficiently as possible.
We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this situation and will continue to monitor developments closely. Should your specific booking or schedule be affected, our team will reach out to you directly with updates.
 
Thank you for your continued understanding and support.
