Strikes end, but delays continue at Australian ports
Australian freight forwarder International Cargo Express (ICE) has warned of backlogs at Australian ports affected ...
The Loadstar understands that dockers at the port of Felixstowe are set to be balloted over a second strike, which may be timed to overlap with a walkout at Liverpool.
Port users fear the new action could involve a 15-day walkout, coinciding with a two-week strike at Liverpool starting 19 September.
One forwarder suggested the aim had been for the two strikes to dovetail, but given the need for a 14-day notice period at Felixstowe, synchronised action would not be possible.
