Freight forwarders warn that more French ports will be involved in strikes throughout February
On February 5, freight forwarding giant Kuehne & Nagel issued a warning on its official website that French ports are at risk of business disruption due to ongoing strikes. Kuehne & Nagel stressed that more French ports will be involved in strikes throughout February, which will have a significant impact on the economy.
The strike was triggered by protests by dockworkers at France's main ports over state pension reforms.
Some industry insiders said that the strike will lead to the disruption of the local collection and distribution system, increasing the risk of traffic congestion. If strikes at French ports are frequent, ships may be diverted to other northern European ports.
Cargo owners and freight forwarders who have recently shipped to France should timely understand the local port dynamics and respond well in advance.
