Coastal shipping vessels in Greece are grounded as a 48-hour warning strike by seamen’s unions takes effect. The strike, which began at 12:01 AM on October 22, will last until midnight on October 23, disrupting operations in the country’s major ports, including Piraeus. The Panhellenic Seamen’s Federation (PNO) is demanding a 12% wage increase for 2025, while shipping companies have proposed only a 3% raise. As rallies are planned in Piraeus, the situation remains tense with the potential for further action if negotiations do not progress.
