A nine-day strike that halted shipping at one of the region’s busiest ports ended early on Monday after union leaders and port operators reached a deal following nineteen hours of talks.

Workers will receive a pay rise over three years and a guarantee that no jobs will be cut because of automated cranes until the end of the decade.

Shipping analysts said it could take two weeks to clear the backlog of vessels waiting offshore.
