Ver.di has confirmed 24-hour warning strikes at several German seaport terminals from August 17, 2026, 10:00 PM to August 18, 2026, 10:00 PM. The affected terminals include Hamburg (EUROGATE, HHLA CTA and Burchardkai), Bremerhaven (CTB and NTB), and Wilhelmshaven (EUROGATE).
The strikes are related to ongoing wage negotiations between Ver.di and the Central Association of German Seaport Companies (ZDS). Following the union’s rejection of the latest employer offer, significant disruptions to port operations are expected.
Rail and trucking services may experience delays and potential cancellations. We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep our customers informed about any impact on ongoing shipments.
