Hong Kong: Four container terminals at Hong Kong's port operated by Hongkong International Terminals (HIT) and Cosco Pacific have been hit by strikes over the Easter weekend with average berthing delays estimated to run up to 60 hours, according to local news reports.

The Union of Hong Kong Dockers called the strike on Thursday and occupied the four terminals at HIT and Cosco-HIT Terminals (HK), which is a joint venture between Cosco Pacific and HIT. They were asking for a 17% raise.
The number of dockers and supporters occupying the terminal had risen by several hundred to about 1,000 by last night, the fifth day of the strike, when a court injunction forced them to leave the terminal area. The strike is set to continue outside the terminal gates.
