60 dockers are on strike at the APM Terminal in Zeebrugge (Belgium) after a foreman was discharged last week. The reason the foreman is discharged is at this time unknown.
Three vessels are at the moment berhted in Zeebrugge, from one of the vessels several cargodecks are removed to prevent that the ship can leave the port. Three other vessels are expected to call Zeebrugge. There is a chance one of the vessels will be diverted to Antwerp, but the dockers in Antwerp have claimed not to handle the ship.
