Walkout stops operations at Egypt's Port Said East

The workers at Port Said East in Egypt staged a strike, which halted operation activities at the port, APL press release said. It is still unclear when the port resumes its operations.

APL has developed plans to work around the disruption to cargo flow.  In view of the port strike, cargoes on board vessels meant for transshipment or discharge at Port Said East, during this period are being re-routed to Malta, Salalah or Djibouti. The shipping company said it would arrange for service recovery once normal cargo operations resume.
