Collective Labour Agreement (CLA) negotiations between terminals and unions have heralded ‘go-slow’ action across the Port of Rotterdam since Tuesday 6th December 2022, including at the Hutchison Ports Delta II and Maasvlakte II terminals.

A.P. Moller – Maersk would like to inform customers that an agreement has now been reached between the concerned parties and operations at Hutchison Ports Delta II returned to normal service levels on 22nd December 2022.

At Maasvlakte II, operations normalised on Friday 16th December 2022. Union and terminal continue discussions in good faith; however the situation could change at short notice. We will keep customers informed of the latest developments as soon as possible.

Since the go-slow action was announced, Maersk teams have been working hard to minimise the impact on customers by drawing up a number of contingency plans and diverting cargo to other European ports.

In order to keep operations as smooth as possible, Maersk has made the following changes to upcoming SAMBA schedules:
