Update: 15.11.2023

According to Kuehne+Nagel, the labour union strike planned for 17 November in Genoa will now involve all ports across Italy.

Truck drivers are also expected to join the strike, which increases the risk of terminal gates being blocked.

Disruptions to water and landside operations can be expected for 4 hours that day. It is worth mentioning that the strike was originally planned for 24 hours but was later reduced.

The union representing the workers of Italy's GMT Terminal at Genoa Port announced a strike to take place next week.

The strike is planned for 24 hours on Tuesday, 7 November, and it is expected to disrupt terminal operations and transportation activities.

Nevertheless, the impact is likely to be limited since it affects one minor terminal of the port, according to Kuehne+Nagel sources.
