Italy – National Terminal & Transport Strike December 12 2025

Please be advised that a nationwide general strike has been confirmed in Italy for Thursday, 12 December. This industrial action is expected to affect multiple sectors, including the transport, logistics, and terminal operations.

Expected Impact

• Disruptions to terminal operations across key Italian ports and intermodal hubs

• Delays in container movements, both import and export

• Possible interruptions to trucking, rail, and last-mile delivery services

• Flow-on delays for cargo connecting via Italy to other European or global routes

These impacts may affect both Australian and New Zealand customers importing from or exporting to Italy, as well as transshipment cargo routed through Italian gateways.

Operations of KLN Italy

Our Italy branch will continue to operate as normal; however, their ability to move cargo may be constrained by national strike actions and third-party disruptions.

Customer Guidance

We recommend:

• Allowing additional lead time for shipments to or from Italy

• Reviewing any time-sensitive bookings

• Staying in close contact with your KLN representative for schedule updates

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide further updates as more information becomes available.
