Port Update:
All New York terminals are operating without delay.
Oakland: Average wait times are creeping up to between 6-7 days now, average import deliveries are up to 4 days and gate times are normal. We are watching this port closely as more vessels may end up being directed here if congestion problems at Seattle become too prevalent. Wait times there are now a week with two holidays before the end of the month and fresh strike action across the border.
Strike in Vancouver
The tentative labor agreement has been voted down. ILWU Canada labor resumed strike action Tuesday, July 18th at 4:30 pm local time. This will affect container and intermodal connections at the ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert, as well as vessel schedules along the North America west coast. This is not the news we’d hoped for as the backlog from the earlier strike action has created potential for some congestion issues farther south. As ports in Vancouver are unable to unload vessels, ports in the U.S. pick up the excess, creating a growing backlog. By next week, the expected backlog is predicted to hit 245,000 TEUs. We’re monitoring the situation and will keep you informed. If you have questions or concerns, please contact your account manager or support@elentenyimports.com
