#newsupdate We are pleased to report that after several days of disruption, the dockworker strikes at the U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports have officially ended, and operations are beginning to resume. It is important to remember that whilst this is of course positive news, the impact of the strike will continue to be felt for some time because major ports, including New York/New Jersey and Savannah, are currently facing significant backlogs. Whilst port authorities and shipping lines are working to manage the large volume of containers accumulated during the strike amidst labour shortages and other logistical constraints this congestion is expected to take several weeks, which may result in further delays for shipments. This may result in shipping lines introducing surcharges to offset the increased costs of longer port handling times. The contract negotiations that led to this strike have not yet been fully resolved, and there is a possibility of further industrial action in January. #shipping #freight #iconmove #logistics #usportstrikes #globalmobility #moving #relocating #freightdelays

The Financial Times have written an article of interest stating that buy-to-let property sales are on the rise, meaning landlords are exiting the market. This has a huge impact on the availability and the cost of renting which will affect assignees coming into the UK, particularly in London. You can see in the image below that the number of privately rented properties for sale is increasing month by month.
