Date: Tuesday, July 8, 2008 Re:  France - Strike Update Strikes dates and times for week of July 6th: From 10 pm Wednesday, July 9th, to 6 am Friday, July 11th From 3 pm Saturday, July 12th to 3 pm Sunday, July 13th Additionally, Monday, July 14th, is a National Holiday in France meaning that trucks are not allowed on the roads. From Fos, the only carrier accepting bookings is Zim Lines. Currently, only feeders are calling Fos. Generally speaking, Le Havre is less affected by the strike action than Fos/Mer. However, equipment availability remains scarce (particularly for inland depots and for 20' reefers.) As previously reported, Antwerp is also suffering from congestion due to the increased volumes from France. Best regards, North American Shippers Association
