StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEChattogram operations suspended as unions demand NCT lease cancellation; separate dockworker actions paused work at over 20 Mediterranean ports
Workers at Bangladesh’s Chattogram Port resumed an indefinite strike on February 8, halting container handling at terminals and cargo unloading at the outer anchorage to oppose a planned lease of the New Mooring Container Terminal to DP World. The action follows a two-day pause after assurances on some demands; however, after a morning meeting, the port chairman said operations were normal, a claim disputed by shipping and customs agents who report terminal activities remain suspended. Businesses have warned of missed shipment deadlines as the stoppage continues. The earlier pause followed a meeting with the government’s shipping adviser that prompted assurances on certain disciplinary issues.
In parallel, dockworkers in more than 20 Mediterranean ports held a coordinated one-day strike on Saturday, with unions in Italy, Greece, Spain, Morocco, and Turkey protesting weapons shipments to Israel. In Italy, hundreds gathered at the port of Civitavecchia near Rome during the international day of action organized by grassroots dockworkers’ unions. Together, the labor actions highlight how stoppages at strategic ports can quickly disrupt cargo flows across regions.
Simultaneous port stoppages in South Asia and across the Mediterranean show how brief or localized actions can affect wider shipping schedules and trade timelines.
