After four weeks of political strikes, work in Finnish ports resumed on Monday. The CEO of Steveco, a stevedoring and logistics company, mentioned that processes had started normally in Helsinki’s Vuosaari port, with cargo volumes still relatively moderate. However, he predicted that the situation would accelerate significantly towards the middle of the week.
Thousands of workers in ports and other industries returned to work on Monday after the four-week strikes by the member unions of SAK ended. The strike had caused delays in handling goods in the ports, leading to congestion in warehouses. Export industries were particularly affected as products were waiting to enter the port for shipment. In Hanko Port, the first ships arrived on Monday morning, indicating the slow movement of goods that were waiting in warehouses. The CEO of Hanko Port estimated that it would take a couple of weeks for the flow of goods to normalize. However, the rush at the port was expected to continue for another couple of weeks until things returned to normal. Some goods had been brought to Finland through Estonian and Swedish ports during the strikes, causing delays in handling the total volume of cargo.
