According to the Agency for Maritime Services and Kust (MDK), the action has a major impact on shipping traffic. Also with the Port of Antwerp bruges it sounds: “The impact is large. There are a large number of ships for which there is currently no planning.” An image of the ship’s radar shows how ships have gathered together in front of our coast, and nothing else can do their turn there.
During their action, the pilots only work within limited hours, which seriously disturbs the planning of ships. Many shipping companies try to adjust their schedule or find alternative routes.
