RW Freight reports that container handling at major North European ports, particularly Rotterdam and those in France, is being significantly impacted by a combination of factors.

Full vessels arriving from China are coinciding with ongoing labour disputes, leading to disruption in port operations. The situation has been further exacerbated by recent adverse weather conditions. These compounding issues are resulting in increased delays at key shipping hubs throughout the region, affecting the timely movement of goods and causing supply chain challenges for businesses relying on these critical trade routes.
