APM Terminals takes on Brazilian dockers
APM Terminals in Brazil has been advertising stevedoring jobs at the port of Itajaí as a means of re-commencing operations, which had been paralysed by strikes since October 27.
At the same time, it has offered port unions the possibility that 24 of the 54 striking workforce could be taken back at new pay rates, but this has been rejected.
In the first 10 days of the strike, 15 inbound vessels were diverted to other ports, affecting approximately 12,000 containers, costing the port some $3.67m in lost revenue.
