These ports are "paralyzed" and cargo transportation is interrupted!

Jul 20,2023

following the previous news,Something big! In this country, more than 30 ports have "completely stopped loading and unloading", and trade risks have soared.

The strike at more than 30 ports in British Columbia, Canada has been going on for more than a week, and there is no sign of resumption of operations at the ports. Industry insiders expect the situation to deteriorate in the future. The ports are severely congested, and the transportation of goods worth nearly 4.6 billion Canadian dollars may be interrupted.

Local media reported that more than 7400 workers were involved in the strike. At present, several industry associations in British Columbia have called on the federal government to take urgent action to end the strike as soon as possible.

British Columbia Premier Justin Trudeau said the federal government will continue to pressure both sides to end the British Columbia port strike.

Vancouver and Prince Rupert-Canada's largest and third-largest offshore gateway-handle nearly 25% of Canada's traded cargo flows.

Freight forwarders and shippers have not yet started moving shipments to Vancouver and Prince Rupert, but logistics providers expect the situation to continue to deteriorate in the coming week. There are carriers to try transshipment, but the truck capacity is insufficient, it is difficult to achieve.

In addition, the United States said that members of the International Dockers' Association, which handles cargo at ports on the East Coast of the United States, promised not to handle any transshipment from Vancouver and Prince Rupert in solidarity.

This also indicates that the stability of the global supply chain is facing serious challenges.

Some netizens said, "These workers need legislation to return to work and not get a raise. A raise will push up inflation, and these workers don't need more money to buy gasoline and diesel because the government wants Canadians to drive less."

"Eastern and central Canada will also soon feel the impact," said a netizen."

Xiao Bian reminded: Shippers and forwarders who have recently traded with Canada pay close attention to the development of the situation, carefully arrange shipments, and pay attention to the impact of the strike on the delay in cargo transportation and customs clearance.
