Re:	24 HOUR STRIKE AT ROTTERDAM

Dear NASA Member:

The unions at the port of Rotterdam have announced they will go on strike for 24 hours starting on Monday the 29th of September until Tuesday the 30th of September.

The terminals will do their best to keep operations running, yet there will be no guarantee that operations will be at 100% efficiency.

We will keep you well informed of any further developments regarding this event.

Best regards,
The North American Shippers Association
