Leading up to the US/Canada East and Gulf Coast labor contract expiration on September 30, there is a lot of uncertainty throughout the market. There’s been no progress in labor negotiations over recent months, and it seems likely that a labor disruption will occur effective October 1. It’s also possible we will see port work slowdowns begin before the official contract expiration date. The duration of any disruption or strike is unknown; hopefully any action will last only a few days, if that long. A disruption of any length will cause congestion and delays. Prolonged labor stoppages will create massive supply chain delays throughout the country and overseas if vessels begin to line up outside ports. Alternatives are West Coast ocean routings and air freight for the most urgent shipments, though those options may become inundated with volume as well.

Union pact averts India port strike

The ocean freight market from Asia to the US has remained stable since last week. Some carriers are still listing aggressive rates for specific sailings, but average rates have remained consistent. The Europe-to-US trade is seeing a rate increase for September 1, most likely driven by shippers getting ahead of potential US port labor action this fall. In India, a nationwide port strike is expected to begin on August 28, pending progress on wage negotiations. A work stoppage of this magnitude will cause severe delays for India trades, import and export. Shippers moving cargo into or out of India should be prepared for disruptions.

Rates from Asia to the US remain elevated but continue to settle. An August 15 rate increase has mostly diminished, though it depends on the specific ocean carrier and sailing. There is a wide range of rates in the market, with some carriers offering aggressive levels for specific sailings. Canada rail operations appear likely to stop effective August 22 as labor contract negotiations remain stalled. The Canadian rails are not accepting new loads in preparation for the work stoppage. The disruption will cause delays at Canadian ports, and potentially some US ports as well, as cargo routings are shifted.
