Free to view: The strike that shuttered US east and Gulf coast ports is over, at least for now, but that does not mean it has not had an impact. As returning workers unload the vessels that are already waiting, more ships will continue to arrive from Asia, Europe and Latin America, replenishing the queues, meaning it will take time for the jam to clear. There were 60 fully cellular containerships with total capacity of 363,620 teu waiting off east and Gulf coast ports on Thursday afternoon (including those at anchor or loitering at under five knots), according to ship-position data from Lloyd's List Intelligence. The average capacity of ships in the queues is 6,060 teu; nine waiting vessels have capacity of over 13,000 teu. MSC has the most ships in the backlog, with 13. Maersk has nine waiting and Zim has four. Meanwhile, there is a high volume of inbound capacity en route to east and Gulf coast ports. More than 75 containerships are inbound on the Atlantic side, including those coming across from Europe, through the Caribbean from Panama, and via the Cape of Good Hope. In addition, there are also least 40 containerships that have already loaded in Asia that are en route across the Pacific to the Panama Canal, most of which will head toward the US east and Gulf coast ports.

Ports are balancing their responses, such as not charging for storage during a work stoppage but maintaining awareness of free time accumulation. For shippers, the message is clear: expedite logistics and prepare for potential delays, especially for time-sensitive or refrigerated cargo. The proactive communication and extended operational hours reflect an industry bracing for major disruption, where preparation will be key to minimizing supply chain chaos. 4o

Many impacted ports are proactively sharing contingency plans amidst the possibility of a strike on Monday, September 30th. Operations at risk include container pickups, rail services, and import reefers. If a work stoppage occurs, all operations like gate, vessel, and rail activities will halt until further notice, affecting terminal availability. Collaborating with Transportation Insight, we've fortified our supply chain to withstand potential disruptions. As we navigate peak season and look toward 2025, let's connect to strategize and ensure operational resilience. #TransportationInsight #SupplyChain Read more: https://lnkd.in/ecJK6nqj

The recent port strike on the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts caused significant disruptions, despite being resolved quickly. While a tentative agreement was reached between the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance, the strike left a ripple effect of delays that will impact supply chains through early 2025. Over 40 vessels remain anchored, awaiting clearance to unload billions of dollars in cargo. Additionally, more than 120 ships are en route to affected ports, compounding the backlog . While operations have resumed, the underlying labor tensions remain unresolved. A critical sticking point in future negotiations involves port automation. Both sides have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 2025 to continue discussions, but without a clear resolution on automation, further disruptions are likely. These delays pose risks for industries reliant on time-sensitive imports, such as agriculture and pharmaceuticals . The strike also highlighted the vulnerability of U.S. supply chains, as congestion at East Coast ports could prompt carriers to divert traffic back to West Coast ports. This uncertainty in labor relations underscores the need for strategic planning to manage future disruptions, ensuring businesses remain resilient in an unpredictable logistics environment
