Attention all shippers and cargo owners reliant on East and Gulf Coast Ports! ILA and USMX negotiations are reaching a crucial phase and there are indications of a potential labor action when the current contract expires on September 30 of this year. Don’t let your cargo get stuck and don’t get stuck paying increased shipping container rates due to limited vessel capacity if a strike occurs. Boost your inventory levels and front-load your imports through West Coast ports like Los Angeles and Long Beach ahead of the peak season. Don’t let your freight wait. Contact Whisk today and stay tuned for more updates on pivotal issues impacting the industry. #Whisk #Drayage #SupplyChain

Hapag-Lloyd has just announced a WDS of 1000 USD/TEU into ports on the US East and Gulf Coast. It will apply to imports from all ports in North Europe, the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Oceania and Latin America, from October 18, 2024, and is valid until further notice. Curiously it does not mention imports from the Far East. It should be noted that simultaneously Hapag-Lloyd has also announced a GRI of 1000 USD per container from October 17th for cargo from the Indian subcontinent and Middle East to the US East and Gulf Coast. CMA also notify $1500/TEU USA Local Port Charge (LPC), effective October 11, 2024 from all points to US East / Gulf coast. Unless ILA and USMX find some common ground to either get a deal, or to extend the deadline for a new deal beyond October 1st, a strike is now just 12 days away. This means that all cargo which might be stuck in vessels waiting off the US coastline, or inside strike-impacted ports, is already on the water when related to deep-sea services including the Atlantic. Any shipper with inbound cargo on vessels therefore should by now also have a contingency plan for dealing with this. Shippers with cargo in vessels due to arrive next week would want to gate out incoming cargo prior to crunch time which will be Monday September 30th. This could likely result in a "fight" for available trucking and chassis resources. #strike #freight #usec #usgc #container #cargo #Hapag #cma #charges #contingency #supplychain

East & Gulf ports strike has ended. Now about cleaning up the mess. Ship backup. Unloading. Supply of chassis? Load empties & full containers vs pressure to handle next ship? Time to clear customs & pay freight? Truckers/drayage to move containers? Receiving multiple containers?

A strike by the International Longshoreman’s Association (ILA) at US East and Gulf ports is expected to begin on October 1st, 2024, due to stalled contract negotiations with the US Maritime Alliance (USMX). Key points: ▪ Bookings & Schedules: Carriers will accept dry container export bookings but may alter schedules or stop bookings without notice. Dangerous goods and refrigerated containers bookings will be suspended. ▪ Import Demurrage: If ports close, carriers may not charge storage fees for those days. Refrigerated shipments will not be monitored during the strike, and abandoned cargo may face penalties. ▪ Import Detention: No detention fees if containers can't be returned due to port closures. Carriers may provide near-dock depots as alternatives. ▪ Force Majeure: Carriers can discharge cargo at alternative ports, with extra costs passed to the cargo owner. ▪ Port Congestion Surcharges: Carriers may impose surcharges of $1000 to $3000 per FEU from October 11th to 27th. Rates may also change after October 15th.
