Re: Strikes in France

Dear NASA Member:

The ports of Le Havre and Fos Sur Mer will be blocked due to a dockworkers strike planned for Thursday, June 19th. The railroads will be sympathizing with the dockworkers and will be on strike as well. This will make it difficult to get containers in and out of the terminals.

Due to the dockworkers strike, some vessels may not to call the aforementioned ports. As we do not currently have the names of the vessels that may divert their cargo we will keep you informed should those names become available.

Our staff will contact you with further details should your cargo be effected by this situation.

If you have any questions please contact us directly.

Best Regards,
The North American Shippers Association
