As previously communicated, this leads to delays and extraordinary costs. 
 
We are closely monitoring the situation and will inform our customers directly as soon as the conflict is resolved and normal operations resume. 
 
If you have any questions regarding how this affects your shipments, please contact your regular NTEX representative. 
 
Thank you for your understanding.

Summer traffic 2025

Please note that the capacity of units and space on ferries is limited during the summer months. This means that availability may be affected, and there is a risk of longer lead times from our suppliers. 
 
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that if there are any requirements for specific loading or unloading dates, these must be clearly stated in the booking. 
To ensure the best possible handling, please consult your local NTEX contact if needed. 
 
Should special arrangements be required, NTEX reserves the right to revert with any additional costs. These costs are based on changed conditions from our partners during this period. 
 
If you have any questions regarding your specific shipments, you are welcome to contact us.

We see that the conflict has so far led to significantly increased production costs for us. Unfortunately, this means that we must introduce an extra fee for all transfers to and from the UK, Ireland, Northern Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. 
 
This extra cost will be 20% of the total shipping cost and applies to shipments booked from Wednesday 28 May onwards (and can be adjusted in case of changed conditions). Please note that this applies to shipments according to our regular setup. 
 
All special and unique customer solutions that arise due to the strike, i.e. where we must change routes, will continue to be analyzed individually and costed based on the specific arrangement. 
 
The conflict has also caused significant backlogs that now need to be addressed, which could affect our service level and delivery times. 
 
Planned strike and lockout periods: 
Gothenburg RoRo Terminal 
June 1 at 16:00 – June 2 at 23:00 
June 3 at 06:00 – 23:00 
June 9 at 00:00 – 24:00 
 
APM Terminals Gothenburg 
June 2 at 06:00 – 23:00 
 
Swedish Ports has received an additional strike and blockade notice from the Swedish Dockworkers Union (HF). This new notice means that HF is once again expanding its industrial actions. 
The notice concerns a blockade on overtime, hiring, and new employment, as well as a blockade on extra working hours and rescheduling of regular working hours (FA-time) against all member companies of Swedish Ports, from Friday, June 6 at 00:00 to Sunday, June 8 at 24:00. 
 
We continue to assess that the greatest impact will be on transport through the Port of Gothenburg, both import and export. There is a significant risk that trailers will be stranded in the ports during these periods, which may lead to increased costs such as quay and trailer rental and empty runs when return transports cannot be completed as planned. 
 
Other extraordinary costs arising in connection with this, including but not limited to quay and trailer rental, delays, and transshipments—will unfortunately need to be invoiced to you as the customer. 
 
We are working proactively to minimize disruptions and maintain a close, ongoing dialogue with you. Each individual situation is assessed separately, and we take the necessary steps to find the best possible solution. If you have any questions regarding how this affects your shipments, please contact your regular NTEX representative.

What do the notices involve? 
The Swedish Dockworkers’ Union (HF) has announced a full strike in all ports where they are represented on Wednesday, May 21, from 12:00 to 18:00. This will be followed by additional actions in the form of: 
*Strike 
*Overtime ban 
*Ban on hiring temporary staff and new employees 
These measures will take effect from Thursday, May 22, at 09:00 and will remain in place until Monday, May 26, at 22:30. Staffing agencies involved in port operations will also be affected by sympathy strikes. 
The Swedish Transport Workers’ Union (Transport) has announced a ban on overtime, additional hours, and new hires starting on Wednesday, May 21, at 16:00. In addition, strikes are planned at selected port companies beginning on Friday, May 30, at 06:00, which will continue in stages through June 15. 
 
How will NTEX and our customers be affected? 
At present, we assess that the greatest impact will affect our unaccompanied trailer traffic to and from the Port of Gothenburg, with consequences for flows to and from the UK, France, Belgium, Spain, and the Netherlands. Assessments and actions will be made individually, based on each specific situation. To ensure the best possible solutions, we will maintain a close and continuous dialogue with you as our customer. 
 
Next steps 
We are closely monitoring developments and will keep you continuously updated if the situation changes. 
If you have any questions about how this might affect you specifically, you are most welcome to contact your regular NTEX representative.
