The strikes of the Finnish Transport Workers' Union AKT Stevedoring industry ended today, 1.3.2023. The outcome of the negotiations has been accepted and the strikes have been cancelled.
Earlier on Tuesday, 28.2.2023, AKT also approved settlement proposals for the trucking industry, the tanker and oil products industry and the terminal sector.
The strikes of the Finnish Transport Workers' Union AKT started today, February 15, 2023. The strikes have significant effects on Finland's foreign trade and cargo transportation.
The stevedoring strike covers all ports and port operations in Finland, such as unloading, loading, receiving, and releasing units. Only modules with driver are allowed on the ships, therefore the strike will especially affect road transport and reduce the transport capacity to / from Finland by sea.

Despite the overtime ban, we aim to transport critical shipments via alternative routes.
