Port Alert | Four Swedish Ports Refuse to Load or Discharge Tesla Cargoes and How Do Shipowners and Cargo Owners Respond to It in Advance?

Strike is Spreading!    

Swedish workers are uniting against Tesla on November 3 to fight for the working conditions they deserve. Sweden's largest trade union has given its support and issued a notice that 90% of Swedish workers have stopped loading or discharging Tesla cargoes at the ports of Malmö, Sodertalje, Bothenburg and Trelleborg as of November 7 to negotiate with Tesla about workers' wages, pensions and insurance. However, no settlement agreement has been signed by Tesla and the Swedish Trade Union Confederation yet. As a result, Four Swedish ports have stopped loading and discharging all Tesla cargoes.     

It is reported that the import volume of Tesla Model Y in Sweden is already three times as much as that of its competitor--- "Volkswagen ID.4". The market demand of Tesla Model Y is high. But the boycotts by Swedish ports against Tesla have greatly affected the berthing plans and interests of the relevant shipowners and cargo owners. E-PORTS recommends that the shipowners and cargo owners who will load or discharge Tesla cargoes in Sweden these days, need to contact local shipping agents in advance to get real-time port information so that the strike will not affect their shipping plans.
