Strikes in major international shipping ports in Australia have escalated!



A strike at Australian ports has escalated recently. The strike, which is expected to last until January 30, has had a serious impact on cargo. Some ships have been waiting around the port for more than 10 days, unable to dock.


It is reported that there is a backlog of 48,000 containers in Australian ports, which seriously hinders transportation. 



Staff at the Sydney, Brisbane and Fremantle terminals, which together handle about 40 percent of Australia's cargo, have stopped working, and work at the Melbourne terminal has been restricted until January 30.



In response to this situation, Maersk updated its warning on DP World Australian industrial strike in official website. Maersk said that according to the notice of Australian Maritime Union Branch (CFMMEU), ports such as Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle will be affected by the strike action.


Brisbane: On January 22-30, wharf operations will be suspended until further notice.

Sydney: On January 22-30, wharf operations will be suspended until further notice.

Melbourne: From January 22 to 30, the wharf operation was restricted, and the specific scope and time of influence were to be determined.

Fremantle: Jan 22-30, dock operations will be suspended until further notice





澳大利亚各大国际海运港口罢工升级!



       近日,澳大利亚各港口的罢工行动重新升级。这场罢工预计将持续至1月30日,给货运带来了严重的影响。一些船舶在港口周边徘徊等泊超过10天,无法靠港。


       据报道,目前全澳港口积压了4.8万个集装箱,导致运输严重受阻。


       悉尼、布里斯班和弗里曼特尔码头的员工已停止工作,墨尔本码头的工作也受到限制,直至1月30日。这些码头总共处理澳大利亚约40%的货运量。
