Dear Valued ONE Customer, We are sorry to advise that there will be a delay in our original timeline regarding the launch of our new branch, Ocean Network Express (Europe) Limited, Greece Foreign Branch.

We would like to provide an update regarding the ongoing strike by the lashing companies in the Port of Rotterdam.

As you are aware, following the Pakistan–India tensions earlier this year, both countries had disallowed transshipment of containers from each other. Vessels carrying containers from the other country were also not permitted to call.

The Bulgarian Navy coordinated the rescue of 10 seafarers from a Ukrainian cargo ship that sank in the Black Sea on October 12.  Fears that the ship might have struck a mine, however, were dispelled by the Bulgarians, who said the incident was due to “structural weaknesses” which was supported by a poor maintenance record for the vessel.

The lashers working in the Port of Rotterdam who handle containers were ordered back to work for the next four days. A court found with a coalition of their employers and businesses that argued the strike was having a disproportionate impact and could threaten supply chains.

China has sanctioned five American subsidiaries of Hanwha Ocean, the South Korean shipbuilder formerly known as Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering, claiming the company was involved in the US probe into the Chinese shipping industry. 

Danish shipping giant Maersk has started onboard fuel trials of a methanol-ethanol blend as part of its efforts to explore alternative fuel use for decarbonising global shipping.
