Strong winds this week have caused operational interruptions at some of Europe's main ports.

Liverpool Port in the UK informed customers of possible disruptions caused by high winds this week. According to the port's forecast, high winds are expected today and Monday, 26 February.

Similarly, the Port of Felixstowe interrupted operations for two hours on Thursday, 22 February, to maintain safe working conditions. The port mentioned that intermittent stoppages may cause delays in haulage operations.

In Denmark and the Netherlands, the ports of Aarhus and Maasvlakte have also reported unstable working conditions due to high winds.

At Aarhus Port, wind speeds today made it difficult to start operations in the early hours of the morning.

While the port commenced work at 7:00 am CET, it highlighted, "Wind speeds remain strong and unstable. Therefore, it remains a real risk that we have to stop operations again for safety reasons."

At APM's Maasvlakte terminal, poor weather conditions stopped operations in the terminal yesterday. Work operations resumed at 08:00 pm, but the status of the port could change depending on the weather.
