A\u00a0three-day strike has caused massive disruptions to land, sea and air traffic.<\/p>\n
Belgian trade unions orchestrated a widespread strike this week, which ended on Wednesday. However, it continues to cause challenges for shipping traffic in and out of Belgian ports, states container shipping company Hapag-Lloyd in a message to customers on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cShipping traffic has now resumed, and port operations are gradually stabilizing. However, there is still significant congestion at this time,\u201d the statement from Hapag-Lloyd reads.<\/p>\n
The shipping company expects the problems to cause delays in shipping traffic into next week.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are working closely with our partners and port authorities to manage the situation and ensure that delays are kept to an absolute minimum,\u201d the statement reads.<\/p>\n
Ship traffic and port operations in Belgium have been completely halted since Monday as a result of the strike, which has also affected train, bus, and air traffic.<\/p>\n
The strike is the latest in several protests against the Belgian coalition government\u2019s proposals for pension and labor market reforms.<\/p>\n
