  • [01] Seamen's union suspends strike

  • [01] Seamen's union suspends strike

    Calm returned to Piraeus' dockside on Thursday as Greece's busiest commercial port resumed business following a crippling weeklong strike by ferry boat seamen overcome only after the government issued a back-to-work mobilisation order early Wednesday for all Greek-flagged vessels.

    The seamen's union (PNO), meanwhile, suspended its ongoing 48-hour strike with a unanimous decision early Thursday afternoon by its executive committee. The industrial action was due to end at 6 a.m. Friday.

    The decision means that all immobilised ferry boats will resume service as of 6 p.m. Thursday. According to reports, the union may now request that the merchant marine ministry lifts the Feb. 22 back-to-work mobilisation order.

    According to authorities, seven ferry boats carrying a total of 586 trucks left the port of Piraeus over the past 24 hours towards Crete and other Aegean island destinations. Another 11 vessels disembarked from various islands towards Piraeus, carrying more than 700 trucks and nearly 2,000 passengers.
