Le Havre

Container traffic at Le Havre, France’s leading box hub, has been hit by a dockworker strike which brought container handling to a standstill, according to international media reports.

Port operations across France were halted earlier in the week when members of the General Confederation of Labour (CGT) union staged a 24-hour walk out.

Members were protesting against a major port services reform that was introduced in 2010.

Further halts are expected this weekend.
