Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) is advising of national strike action by customs staff, potentially affecting Brazilian Ports from 19 August 2015. The ‘standard operation’ strike (minimum permitted numbers of staff on duty) is pay-related and currently has no set end date. ISS Brazil is working to co-ordinate berthing for its clients to avoid the strike and minimise impact where possible. The company will monitor regions affected and keep its clients updated.
