At the end of July, the British Confederation of trade unions said that the workers in felixsto port voted for the strike because of the wage dispute, and warned that the entire supply chain would be seriously disturbed.

However, the Union did not give a specific date for the strike action. However, it is certain that the strike will be held next month and won the support of 92% of the voters.

At present, 1900 members of the unite trade union in felixsto port have held a strike as agreed. The strike started on August 21 and is planned to last until August 29. In this regard, some shipping companies have notified to adjust the ETA of some ships and cancel some berthing.

The national official in charge of the wharf of the United trade union said that the strike would cause great damage or seriously impact the entire British supply chain.

The strike started on the morning of the 21st and formed a strike warning line. The trade union said that the warning line would be guarded before 10 pm on the strike day.

Miles Hubbard, from the local office of unite, said: "very few people came to work this morning. The strike warning line started at 6 a.m. and we have received strong public support."

According to the notice issued by the freight forwarding company Atlantic Pacific last week, the strike action will have an impact on the UK supply chain and increase the detention cost.

After the strike is over, it will take several weeks to clear the backlog of goods. In addition, the unloading space of ships arriving with full containers may be seriously reduced.

On the other hand, 2M Alliance and Maritime Alliance have changed the port rotation to a great extent, so that ships that originally arrived during the strike will arrive before or after the strike.

On August 18, Maersk issued a notice of strike at felixsto port. According to the company, in order to minimize the impact of the strike on customers, a series of emergency measures have been formulated, and the ETA of some ships has been advanced or delayed.

In addition, some enterprises expressed concern about the strike. Adam Searle, managing director of CP transport, a transport company, said that if its company did not transport any containers this week, it might lose 60000 to 70000 pounds.

According to Russell Group, an analysis and data company, the strike may cause more than $800 million in trade disruption. Although it is too early to assess, they expect that the delivery time will be extended and the cost will be increased, which will only damage the British economy.

As we all know, felixstone port is the busiest port in Britain, with about 2550 people working in the port, handling about 48% of the container trade in Britain. At present, the workers participating in the strike include crane drivers, machine operators and ship handling workers.

Felixsto port said it would develop emergency plans and was working to minimize interference during the strike. GLA also reminds the freight forwarders to pay attention to the dynamic of the port and communicate with the shipping company in time.
