Rotterdam outlines strategy for India

In H1 2024, Rotterdam remained Europe’s largest container port with 2.2% growth, while Antwerp-Bruges stayed second, amid volatile port growth trends.

The Port of Rotterdam has announced that a power outage affecting the Brielle to Hoek van Holland area has not yet disrupted shipping operation.

The foundation stone for the US$ 9.14 billion Vadhavan port project was laid today, aiming to be India’s largest port and among the top 10 globally.

Nearly 20,000 Indian port workers cancelled their planned strike after securing a new five-year deal, averting further disruption to the global supply chain.

The Indian Ports Association has proposed a revised offer to prevent a nationwide strike by port workers over overdue wage revisions, set to begin on 28 August.

India’s major port workers plan an indefinite strike over unresolved wage, allowance, and pension demands, potentially disrupting nationwide port operations.
