Freight forwarder warning: Eastern ports in the United States will shut down for the second time

Release time: 2024-11-06   Browsing:288次
In early October, the strike at ports along the eastern United States and the Gulf Coast of Mexico came to an end after three days of continuous operation, which relieved the industry that the strike did not lead to a system wide paralysis as people had feared.
Shippers have different reactions to this strike. Some people believe that the renewed confrontation between unions and port employers in January will not pose a significant threat, while others are concerned that the problem may erupt again and last longer, causing serious impacts on traffic flow.
In order to address this potential risk, some shipping companies have taken measures to ensure the safety of their incoming goods, especially by transporting some imported goods by waterway through the West Coast gateway.
