Dear all sisters and brothers

Hope you are all fine

Pls note some information regarding our strikes which could be useful for our members

Pls note that we are facing big troubles in France due to crane drivers strikes.
Marseille/fos is completely stopped since last Monday until further notice and partly congested since 2/3 weeks now. Le Havre is also facing problems with 2/3 days off per week. All main shipping line are implementing congestion surcharges between 150 usd and 250 usd per teus.
We will know by Thursday if the conflict will remain with a general total strike or if they will be back on work.
I will keep you informed

Any special request pls do not hesitate to ask me
My best regards to all of you

Kind regards
