The conflict between the Swedish Dockworkers' Union and the Ports of Sweden is not yet over. The strike continues across the country until a new agreement is signed.

The measures announced below are specific to the Gothenburg RoRo port: From today until Sunday, June 1, there is a temporary pause in the strike between the Swedish Dockworkers' Union and the Ports of Sweden in the Gothenburg port. This means that we can expect somewhat normal operations until Sunday at 4:00 PM when the Dockworkers' Union has announced a new strike until June 3 at 11:00 PM.

However, we want to make you aware that Ascension Day falls on Thursday, May 29, with limited port operations.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during these times.

We want to inform our customers about a strike notice for Swedish ports that may affect our traffic. The strike is planned to start on May 21 and may impact transport to and from Germany, the UK, Ireland, and via Ghent to the Benelux, France, Spain, and Portugal.

The Swedish Transport Workers' Union and the Swedish Dockworkers' Union have submitted a strike notice. The Dockworkers' Union plans a full strike on May 21 from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM and a longer strike from May 22 to May 26. The Transport Workers' Union has announced a blockade from May 21 and possible actions in various ports from May 30 to June 15.

These actions may affect import and export flows, particularly via the Gothenburg RoRo port. In the event of a strike, we can expect delays and/or need to reroute our paths, which may lead to additional costs.

We thank you for your understanding and will keep you updated on the situation here on our website.
