The postal strike has been going on since mid-November and extensive sympathetic strikes have led to disruptions in, among other things, ferry and air traffic, with several scheduled departures as a result.

Like Monday, ferry traffic between Finland and Sweden continues to be affected by scheduled departures during Tuesday, Svenska Yle writes. Vessels affected are those flying under the Finnish flag.

For Viking Line, the lines Stockholm-Turku, Helsinki-Stockholm and Kapellskär-Mariehamn are affected, where a total of eleven departures are canceled.

Ferry departures canceled

During the morning, Tallink Silja will decide whether they will be forced to cancel their departures with two of the vessels, Baltic Princess and Silja Serenade during Tuesday.

- I think the opportunities for not having to cancel our departures tonight are small, says Katri Link, communications director at Tallink Silja.

As soon as they have made a decision, the passengers concerned will be informed. For Tallink Silja, the lines are Stockholm-Turku and Stockholm-Helsinki, which are affected in this case.

Normal air traffic

Air traffic, on the other hand, runs as normal during Tuesday, according to Swedavia.

- It does not affect Finnair's departures today based on the information I have, says Lovisa Ernestam, Deputy Head of Press at Swedavia.

The conflict between the postal workers' union Pau in Finland and the employers in Posti is in its third week and the main issue is working time. The extended postal strike and sympathy strikes were added since negotiations stranded on Sunday evening.

Mail and parcels are affected

Distribution has already been affected by mail from Sweden. Due to the extensive sympathy strikes in Finland, by the Seamen's Union and the IAU, among other things, transport is also affected by parcels, says Postnord.

“We put in the resources we can to solve as much as possible, but the situation is worrying. Postnord, like everyone else, is dependent on ferries and flights for transport to and from the country, ”said Mathias Krümmel, Head of Production at Postnord, in a press release.

Since November 11, no mail has been distributed in Finland. Ordinary mailings are stored in Sweden until the strike is over, Postnord states.
