Blockades and strikes

Shipowners and ships may be exposed to blockades or strikes initiated by the International Transport Workers' Federation, ITF, or local trade unions. In such situations, the shipowners will often be under considerable commercial pressure and at risk of suffering significant losses. 

We are available to assist clients facing problems that may involve blockades or strikes.

Our advice

 We advise on issues such as:

• threatened blockades and strikes against ships calling at Danish ports;
• industrial disputes in connection with such action against ships and/or stevedore firms;
• damages for illegal blockades, strikes and sympathy actions;
• the validity of agreements entered into in connection with such actions.
