Trucker Strike at Shekou port
Dear Valued Unique Customer,
We received an alert from our ULI Shenzhen office this week as
follows:
From June.02 morning, Trucker strike is starting at Shekou
port. There have split two team, one is supporter of strike, another is
working as normal. There have around 200 truckers who support this strike
stay around the Shekou port and prevent other truckers pick up the empty
container or return full container as normal. Once they found the trucker
who work as normal ,they will come up and do some breakage to avoid any
strikebreaker action, so Shekou and Chiwan port is on the troubled waters now .
As per news report, Shenzhen Government have assigned police team to maintain
the safe and make everything in order soon. The reason for this strike
should be the trucker salary issue. At the same time, Yantian port and Da Chan
Bay is not yet affected up to now. Our office will keep close eye on
this situation and keep update if any. thanks.
The trucker strike will severely impact movement of cargo from
the Shenzhen area and have potential to spill over to other ports such as
Yantian or Da Chan Bay as well as further cause congestion problem for
containers and space that are already in short supply.
As always, we will continue to update as there is any change in
the market.
