The port has reopened today but the port company says due to the last minute withdrawal of the notice there is not much activity planned.
Rail and Maritime Union Organiser John Kerr said the original withdrawal of the strike notice for two days was to demand LPC meet with them to negotiate.
But LPC asked them to hold off on the strike till Tuesday 20 March to give exporters a chance to recover and the union accepted.
He says negotiations start at 9:30 and are being mediated by the Ministry of Business and Innovation.
