Strike action in Wilhelmshaven

A.P. Moller – Maersk would like to inform you of the ongoing strike action at the Wilhemshaven terminal. Collective labour agreement discussions between terminals and labour unions have led to a 16-hour strike action that started at 06:00 am today, 27June, and will end at 22:00 pm.

Our teams are currently reviewing vessel line ups and schedules, as well as potential impact of the strike action on vessel departures. We are looking into taking additional measures, such as diversions or move count restrictions in order to minimise the impact on onwards vessel schedules, and consequently, delays to our customers’ cargo. We will keep you informed of any changes to the delivery of your cargo, and the overall situation. To receive the latest ETA notifications, please sign up here.

Once terminals resume operations, there is a possibility of congestion for delivery and pick up of containers from the terminal, and customers are asked to plan their inland haulage accordingly. If you have booked inland haulage directly with Maersk, our teams will reschedule delivery or pick up of your containers to the next available slot.

As the situation surrounding strike action is subject to change in line with the ongoing negotiations, our teams remain in contact with the relevant parties and will inform customers of any updates as soon as more information becomes available. Our teams continue to focus on minimising the impact to our customers’ supply chains and thank you for your understanding. Our teams remain at your disposal, and should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your usual contact.
