Truck Strike Paralyzes Indias Port of Chennai

Total halt to all export-import movements as containers pile up

A sudden strike by container truck drivers Monday morning paralyzed cargo movements to and from Indias Port of Chennai, the countrys second-largest container gateway. The Trailer Owners Association is protesting poor approach road conditions following recent heavy monsoon rains and persistent delays in commissioning the long-awaited Ennore-Manali road improvement project.

The strike has resulted in a total stoppage of all export-import movements with more than 1,000 vehicles stranded outside the dock, a shipping line agent at Chennai said.The agent said containers had begun piling up in the port area, and could seriously congest operations at the two terminals if trucking operations are not restored immediately.
