Stevedore Strike Extended at the Port of Lisbon
P&I correspondents (Pinto Basto Commercial Lda) have advised that the current strike by the port’s stevedores has been extended to 29 May 2016.
Port operations have been completely shut down and vessels are being redirected to alternative Portuguese ports. Presently the ports of Setubal and Figueira da Foz are not accepting redirected ships and only the port of Leixoes will accept these cargoes.
Members should contact their local port agent for further information.
