Finnish Seamen Strike Cancelled

The two-and-a-half week strike on Finnish icebreakers has ended after the parties involved approved the national mediator's latest offer to solve the dispute, less than 24 hours before a planned major escalation of the conflict. Maritime unions were prepared to shut all Finnish ports if no deal was reached, shutting down cargo and passenger transport from 2pm on Thursday.
