Shippers and carriers sue 72-hour strike French ports

France has been plagued by strikes and actions against pension reformsince December. This led to a profound disruption of rail transport and blockade actions in French ports on several occasions. The current 72-hour strike is very successful. All seven national ports are reportedly down: Dunkirk, Le Havre, Rouen, Nantes-Saint-Nazaire, La Rochelle, Bordeaux and Marseille. Other ports such as Calais, Cherbourg, Lorient and Ajaccio are also sharing in the blows.
