France is bracing for significant disruptions due to announced strike actions on 10 September and 18 September.

Although official notices have yet to be received, port terminals are anticipated to experience substantial congestion on the days surrounding the strikes, specifically on 9, 11, 17, and 19 September.

Kuehne+Nagel reports that congestion may prevent containers from entering terminals as scheduled.

The strikes are part of the national protest movement in France, known as "Block Everything" ("Bloquons tout").

The movement is calling for a day of national protest on 10 September, and it has gained traction across social media platforms.

According to local news, the movement reflects widespread discontent with the 2026 financial plan announced by the government in July.
