Following the eight-day strike  at The Port of Felixstowe at the end of August, the UK sea freight sector is experiencing further disruption because of industrial action.

The UK is the latest country to experience strikes, following on from the recent industrial action across Germany and other European countries. As with the Central Association of German Seaports (ZDS), the strikes in the UK logistics sector are over wage disagreements amongst soaring inflation.
