PhilaPort plans expansion of its cold chain capacity

Even though short-lived, the ILA port strike is expected to result in a capacity decline of 10-17% for Asia exporters.

Ports announce reopening after the ILA and USMX reached a tentative wage deal, ending the strike that had disrupted operations.

ILA launched a major strike at ports across the Atlantic and Gulf coasts, but cruise operations and military activities at affected ports continued.

The ILA strike at the US east coast and gulf ports may cause significant supply chain disruptions if it lasts beyond a few weeks.

ILA will proceed with the strike on the US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico on October 1.

As the clock ticks down to 30 September, the USMX has filed an unfair labour practice charge with the National Labour Relations Board.
