National Strike in France - Effects

During the past weeks, massive strikes against a planned pension reform have paralyzed public transport in France. The strike is still going on this week.

French ports already impacted by days of strike are getting congested. Alternative options like Antwerp, Genoa or Barcelona are getting congested as well, therefore delays on bookings and pick up/delivery with those ports are expected.

Here is an overview of the duration of the strike activity in the French ports:

  • Dunkerque: dockers/stevedores 23/01 & 24/01; tugboats 22/01 to 25/01 until 6 am
  • Le Havre: dockers/stevedores 22/01 to 25/01 until 6 am; tugboats 24/01 to 25/01 until 8 am
  • Montoir: dockers/stevedores 22/01 to 25/01 until 6 am; tugboats 21/01 to 24/01 until 9 am
  • FOS: dockers/stevedores 22/01 to 25/01 until 6 am; tugboats 20/01 to 23/01 until 9 am

Pick-up and delivery by rail should be also very difficult. Airfreight is not concerned so far, but we will keep you informed about that.

Get assured that our operational teams will do their utmost to minimize the effects of the strike.

In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your responsible contact person in the respective DACHSER branch.

Sea freight: Australia implements new fumigation measures
As of September 1, 2018, sea freight shipments to Australia must be fumigated against the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB). The new measures extend the previously common practice of fumigating sea freight packaging against BMSB to treating the entire contents of shipments. The BMSB season will be in effect for goods shipped to Australia between September 1, 2018, and April 30, 2019. As of August 24, 2018, Australian authorities have identified the following ten risk countries of origin:
 
  • United States
  • Italy
  • Germany
  • France
  • Russia
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Romania
  • Georgia
  • Japan

This list of BMSB risk countries may be revised by Australian authorities at any time. Goods that have been produced in, or transshipped through, these countries must be treated accordingly. This provision applies only to sea freight shipments. Project cargos, as well as LCL shipments, must already have been treated in the country of origin. The Australian authorities define two categories of goods that must be treated: ‘target high risk’ and ‘target risk’. Treatment options include heat treatment, methyl bromide fumigation (prohibited within the EU), and sulfuryl fluoride fumigation. Any untreated target risk goods will be immediately returned by Australian authorities at the shipper's expense.
