BREAKING ALERT                      

October 1, 2024

Subject: East / Gulf Coast Dockworker Strike

Dear Valued Customer:

As you may have seen in news reports, the International Longshore (ILA), which represents dockworkers at ports on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast, has announced that its members have begun a strike following a breakdown in contract negotiations.

At this time, our ocean carriers are not experiencing any impact, nor do they expect any significant impact on their services off the West Coast. As a reminder, our ocean carrier vessels call exclusively at West Coast ports, where the current longshore union contract runs through July 1, 2028.

We are monitoring the situation carefully and will continue to provide updates if anything changes. We are focused on timely and dependable service for our customers.

If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to reach out to your sales executive, local office or contact our Corporate Customer Service Center at 800-488-4888, Ext. 2020, or via email at [email protected].

As always, we are grateful for your support and value your business!
