THE
Mediterranean Shipping Co (MSC) has implemented contingency
plans to re-route containerships away from French ports when necessary due to
strikes in the country, Reuters reports.
Two weeks of nationwide strikes in France have disrupted
railways and roads, shut schools and brought more than half a million people
onto the streets to protest against wide-ranging pension reforms.
"MSC is closely monitoring the situation in France
where industrial action by labour unions is impacting maritime ports and
overland transportation networks around the country," said a spokesman for
the Swiss Italian shipping line.
"MSC is carefully implementing contingency plans
wherever we need to re-route cargo to nearby European container ports," he
said.
MSC said it would resume normal services to France as
soon as possible. At ports, stoppages this week by tugboat personnel and
dockers have hampered activity at Le Havre and Marseille.
