Italian Truckers Strike Ended

This is to notify you that the truckers strike has been resolved today.

The truckers are removing their roads blocks and the situation is moving slowly back to normal.

Unfortunately, we must still face the problems related to the effects of this long strike also for the next few days:

  • Lack of fuel for the majority of the gas stations. Yesterday 90% of stations were closed.
  • Congestion at all Italian ports, where the bookings of this week were postponed to the following weeks.
  • Cancellation of various truck services by the airlines destined to the main European hubs.
  • Congestion of the main roads and highways due to the trucks' sudden return to work, in addition to the traffic for the Christmas season.
Please be advised that next week will be the last working week for the majority of Italian companies. They will close for the Christmas holiday from the 22nd of December to the 6th of January.
