A series of labour strikes were announced in Japan after the fourth round of labour negotiations for dockworkers failed to reach an agreement.

Container carrier ONE reported that dockworkers in all Japanese ports will strike for 24 hours on 20 and 27 April.

Dockworkers will also strike for 24 hours on Sunday, 11 May.

The strikes will halt all port and vessel operations nationwide.

The absence of Sunday work leads to delays for vessels arriving on that day, which could create a backlog for the next.
