Major disruptions are occurring at APM Terminals in Gothenburg port, where several vehicles, including trucks and lorries, are queued up and unable to leave the area. A lorry driver on site reports being stuck since shortly after lunch. "It's chaos here", he says.
Images from the port show long queues of vehicles waiting to exit. Gothenburg port has stated in a comment that the gates have been kept closed due to the heavy snowfall and strong winds. "In combination with large amounts of snow on the terminal area, we needed to limit operations for safety reasons", the port writes.
The cause of the chaos is the weather, which has prompted safety measures to protect staff and vehicles. It is unclear how long the disruptions will last, but the situation arose on the evening of January 9.
