⚠️ News Alert! ⚠️ Approximately 50,000 longshoremen from the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike, affecting ports from New England to Texas. This is the first strike by the ILA since 1977, following failed negotiations for a new contract with port management.
Among the port impacts are New York and New Jersey on the East Coast which serve as the main entry points for wine, beer and spirits imports from Europe and the Mediterranean. Plus, Charleston and Savannah which is a primary port for spirits exports. The impact on global trade will be significant, the latest information is available on our port updates page on our website.
We advise customers to speak to their local sales contact to discuss how it will impact your shipments.
