Europe to/from East Coast South America Service – Port of Rotterdam Update

Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) negotiations between terminals and unions have heralded ‘go-slow’ action across the Port of Rotterdam since Tuesday 6th December 2022, including at the Hutchison Ports Delta II and Maasvlakte II terminals.

A.P. Moller – Maersk would like to inform customers that an agreement has now been reached between the concerned parties and operations at Hutchison Ports Delta II returned to normal service levels on 22nd December 2022.
