DELAYS AND WORK STOPPAGES AT ALL SOUTH AFRICAN PORTS
Please be advised that we are in the 8th day of a NATIONWIDE strike
by the South African port, and railway and allied workers Trade Unions.
This strike action means that a number of South African
Ports have, to all intents and purposes, suspended all operations until a
compromise between the Unions and Employers can be reached.
Durban and Cape Town Sea Ports as well as Johannesburg Inland Port being
the most severely effected areas, with rail links for cargo also being
restricted.
lthough negotiations are ongoing, it is anticipated that this current
National Industrial Action, will continue for at least another week to 10 days.
This Strike, has had an immediate impact on transport and shipping related
services across South Africa (and neighbouring countries) resulting in delays
and stops on both imports and exports. Once the strike action is lifted, there will be
a carry on effect, as further delays and difficulties are experienced in clearing the backlog
which will have accumulated.
Just want to say what a great blog you got here!
I’ve been around for quite a lot of time, but finally decided to show my appreciation of your work!
Thumbs up, and keep it going!
Cheers

Thanks Intlmove for keeping your customers abreast of things that are happening in the industry. It really shows that you are a trustworthy company and people making international moves can trust you to do the job right.
I come to intlmove for all of my international moving updates. We are planning an international move later this year. I will definitely hire Intlmove when we are ready to ship our household goods overseas.
