Italy’s 24-Hour Port Strike Begins Today: What Bulk and Breakbulk Shipowners Should Watch意大利港口今日24小时罢工，散货和件杂货船要关注什么

Italy’s port sector entered a nationwide 24-hour strike on 28 September. According to Italy’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MIT), the action was called by USB Mare e Porti and covers port operators, Port System Authorities (ADSPs), and companies operating under Italy’s national port labour agreements.

9月28日，意大利港口行业进入24小时全国性罢工执行日。意大利基础设施与交通部（MIT）官方登记显示，此次行动由USB Mare e Porti组织，覆盖港口企业、港口系统管理局（ADSP）以及适用意大利港口集体合同的相关企业，罢工范围为意大利全国。

A nationwide strike does not necessarily mean that every port and every service stops simultaneously. Individual ports may apply different work stoppage schedules based on local shift arrangements, and participation levels can vary between terminals and employers. In Genoa, for example, strike implementation is linked to local shift patterns, meaning actual disruption periods may differ from port to port.

需要注意的是，全国性罢工并不等于所有港口、所有岗位在同一时间全部停止工作。部分港口会按照自身轮班制度安排停工时段，具体参与程度也取决于当地企业和岗位。以热那亚为例，当地公布的信息显示，罢工按照港口轮班安排执行，实际起止时间与班次有关。

For bulk carriers and breakbulk vessels already at anchor, scheduled to berth, or planning cargo operations in Italy over the coming days, the immediate priorities are confirming terminal operations, checking whether berth windows have been revised, and understanding how quickly schedules are likely to recover once the strike ends.

对于已经在意大利港口锚地、正在安排靠泊，或者计划近期装卸货物的散货船和件杂货船，今天需要先确认的，是码头是否正常作业、泊位窗口有没有调整，以及罢工结束后船期如何恢复。

Cargo Operations Are Only Part of the Picture

先看码头装卸，靠离泊也要逐港确认

For bulk and breakbulk vessels, any interruption to loading, discharging, cargo handling, or landside transfer activities can quickly push scheduled operations behind plan. Shipowners and local agents should therefore verify not only terminal activity but also the availability of pilotage, tug services, and other marine support functions.

For vessels scheduled to berth around 28 September, three questions deserve immediate attention:

• Is the terminal operating normally today?
• Has the vessel’s berth window changed?
• Are pilotage and tug services proceeding as originally scheduled?

对散货船和件杂货船来说，码头作业的装货、卸货以及与货物转运相关的作业如果出现人员停工，原本安排好的装卸时间就可能向后顺延。此外，船东和代理需要逐港确认当天的泊位计划，以及引航、拖轮等服务是否按原窗口执行。

对于已经排定9月28日前后靠泊的船舶，船东和船舶管理方需要及时确认三个问题：码头今天是否正常作业、船舶原定靠泊时间是否调整，以及引航、拖轮等相关服务是否按照原计划执行。

This is particularly important for bulk carriers, where cargo operations, inspections, documentation, and departure arrangements are often closely linked. Delays in one stage can easily affect subsequent voyage commitments and ETAs.

这一点对于散货船尤其重要。散货船通常需要连续完成靠泊、装卸、验货及离港等一系列作业，如果其中一个环节出现延误，后续航次的ETA也可能受到影响。

Northern and Breakbulk-Focused Ports Deserve Particular Attention

北部港口与散杂货港口需要重点关注

Italy’s ports handle very different cargo mixes, meaning the impact of the strike may vary significantly depending on the vessel’s cargo and port of call.

意大利各港口的货种结构差异较大，散货和件杂货船东可以按照自己的挂靠港和货种分别关注。

Ravenna

Port of Ravenna is likely to be one of the most closely watched ports for bulk operators. Port statistics show that cargo throughput reached a record 28.1 million tonnes in 2025, with dry bulk and breakbulk cargoes among its core business segments. Grain, fertilizers, construction materials, and metal products could all be affected if labour participation is significant.

拉文纳（Ravenna）是这一轮最值得散货船东关注的港口之一。港口官方数据显示，2025年拉文纳货物吞吐量达到2809.6万吨，创历史新高，并明确将散装干货和件杂货列为主要优势货种。粮食、化肥、建材以及金属类货物的港口作业，都可能受到罢工影响。

Taranto

Port of Taranto is particularly relevant for steel, industrial raw materials, and project cargo movements. Vessels scheduled to load or discharge steel products, ores, or industrial cargoes around the strike period should confirm terminal-specific operating arrangements.

塔兰托（Taranto）则更适合从钢铁和工业原料运输角度关注。涉及钢材、矿石以及工业项目货物的船舶，如果原本就在9月28日前后安排装卸，需要及时确认码头作业是否受到影响。

Trieste

Port of Trieste handles a more diversified cargo mix, with liquid bulk accounting for a substantial share of throughput alongside general cargo and Ro-Ro traffic. Operators should assess disruption risks based on individual terminals and cargo sectors rather than treating Trieste as a conventional dry bulk port.

的里雅斯特（Trieste）的货种结构更加多元，液体散货占比较高，同时承担一般货物和Ro-Ro运输。因此，船东需要结合具体码头和货种判断，不能把的里雅斯特整体按照“散货港”处理。

Genoa

Port of Genoa is better known for container and general cargo activity, but steel products, heavy machinery, and project cargoes also move through the port. For breakbulk operators, the key issue may be the availability of terminal labour and berth schedules rather than the strike itself.

热那亚（Genova）则以综合货运和集装箱业务更为突出，但钢材、机械设备、项目货等件杂货船同样需要关注。对于件杂货船东，热那亚的重点不只是港口是否罢工，还包括具体码头的装卸班组和泊位安排。

For vessels calling at other multi-purpose ports such as Port of Livorno, direct confirmation with local agents and terminal operators remains essential. The practical impact of a national strike ultimately depends on participation levels at individual terminals and work groups.

对于挂靠利沃诺（Livorno）等综合性港口的船舶，也建议直接向代理和码头确认当日作业状态。港口层面的全国性罢工最终落到船舶身上，仍然取决于具体码头和作业岗位的参与情况。

As a result, a 24-hour strike is unlikely to affect every bulk and breakbulk vessel in the same way. Voyage planning should be based on specific cargoes, terminals, and ports rather than assumptions of a complete nationwide shutdown.

同样是24小时罢工，不同港口对散货船和件杂货船的影响并不会完全相同。船东建议根据具体挂靠港和货种判断，而不是简单按照“意大利港口全部停摆”来安排航次。

Recovery May Take Longer Than the Strike Itself

24小时结束后，船期恢复也需要时间

Even after operations resume on 29 September, ports may require additional time to work through accumulated vessel queues and delayed cargo movements.

For vessels already waiting at anchor, berth windows, pilotage schedules, and tug allocations may need to be reassessed.

For vessels alongside, remaining cargo volumes, revised completion times, and updated sailing schedules should be confirmed before planning onward voyages.

For vessels still en route, updated ETAs and revised berth allocations should be obtained from local agents as early as possible.

A one-day strike does not necessarily translate into a one-day delay. If multiple berth windows are pushed back simultaneously, vessel queues and berth reallocation processes can continue to affect operations well after normal work resumes.

Owners with vessels already in the Mediterranean and bound for Italy may wish to review arrival schedules with local agents and terminals, particularly where onward commitments leave little room for additional waiting time.

9月29日恢复作业后，港口是否能够立即回到原来的船期节奏，还要看当天积累了多少待处理船舶和货量。

对于已经在锚地等待的船舶，首先需要重新确认泊位窗口、引航和拖轮安排；已经靠泊的船舶，则要重新确认剩余货量、预计完货时间和最新离港时间。对于尚未抵港的船舶，则要根据代理和码头给出的最新靠泊时间重新计算ETA和后续航次安排。

因此，24小时罢工带来的实际延误不一定只停留在24小时。如果多个作业窗口同时向后顺延，船舶排队和泊位重新排序可能继续影响后续航次。

对于已经在地中海航行、准备前往意大利的船舶，船东可以提前向代理和码头确认恢复时间，并根据最新ETA重新核对靠泊窗口。如果船舶本身已经存在较紧的下一港安排，还需要把可能增加的等待时间纳入后续航次计划。

Three Immediate Checks for Owners

若船已经在路上，今天先确认这三件事

For vessels calling at Italy around the strike period, priorities will vary depending on their operational status.

对于9月28日前后挂靠意大利的船舶，船东可以按照船舶所处状态分别确认。

Vessels at anchor: confirm whether existing berth windows remain valid, obtain revised ETBs where necessary, and verify pilotage and tug availability.

已经在锚地等待的船舶：确认今天的泊位窗口是否保留，代理能否拿到新的ETB，以及引航、拖轮等服务是否按照新的时间安排。

Vessels alongside: confirm expected resumption of cargo operations, remaining cargo volumes, and revised completion and departure schedules before finalising onward voyage plans.

已经靠泊并正在装卸的船舶：确认码头预计何时恢复作业、剩余货量以及新的完货和离港时间，避免只按照原来的ETD安排下一港。

Vessels still at sea: obtain updated berth schedules from local agents and terminals. If revised berth availability no longer matches the original ETA, speed and voyage planning may need adjustment.

尚未抵港的船舶：提前向代理和码头确认最新靠泊计划。如果原有ETA与新的泊位窗口已经不匹配，需要重新调整航速、到港时间和下一港安排。

For cargoes such as grain, ores, steel products, clinker, fertilizers, heavy equipment, and project cargoes, cargo readiness should also be reconfirmed to avoid situations where vessels arrive before terminal operations have fully normalised.

Where delays could affect laycan commitments, laytime calculations, or demurrage exposure, updated operational timelines should be shared promptly with charterers and relevant counterparties.

对于粮食、矿石、钢材、熟料、化肥以及设备、项目货等货种，还需要同步确认货物是否已经准备到位，避免船舶到了港，但岸上作业尚未恢复。

如果此次延误涉及租船合同下的laycan、装卸时间或滞期计算，也应把新的靠泊和完货时间及时同步给租家及相关代理，避免船期变化只在操作层面调整，而合

What to Watch Next

需要盯住哪些变化

The strike itself is scheduled to last only 24 hours, but the ultimate impact on shipping will depend less on the duration of the stoppage and more on participation levels, operational recovery speeds, and the volume of delayed vessels and cargoes that accumulate during the disruption.

For bulk and breakbulk operators with vessels calling Italy in the coming days, the most important developments to monitor are terminal operating status, berth schedule revisions, and the pace at which ports return to normal service after 29 September.

As the strike moves from announcement to execution, real-time port operational updates are likely to provide a much clearer picture of potential delays than pre-strike forecasts.

意大利此次港口罢工持续时间只有24小时，但对船东而言，影响并不只取决于“停工一天”。不同港口的参与程度、作业恢复速度以及罢工期间形成的船舶和货物积压，都可能决定最终延误多久。

对于近期挂靠意大利的散货船和件杂货船，今天可以重点关注具体港口是否停工、船舶靠泊是否调整，以及29日以后港口能否恢复正常作业节奏。随着罢工进入实际执行阶段，后续港口运营信息会比此前的罢工预告更有参考价值。
