International shipping port in the eastern United States will be shut down for the second time (please note to cargo owners and forwarders)

In early October, strikes at ports in the eastern U.S. and the Gulf of Mexico ended three days later without causing system-wide paralysis. Shippers responded mixed, but some shippers were worried that another strike might occur in January. In response to the risks, some shippers took measures to ensure cargo safety, including rerouting transportation, but faced the risk of possible strikes at other ports.

In early October, the strike at ports in the eastern U.S. and the Gulf Coast ended after three days, a result that generally relieved the industry. Although affected ports such as Savannah will still take some time to clear congestion, the strike did not lead to system-wide paralysis as widely feared.

Shippers' reactions to the strike have been mixed. Some believe that another standoff between unions and port employers in January will not pose a huge threat, as the continuous threats of shutdowns in the United States and Canada over the past few years have made cargo owners worried about such problems. However, there are also concerns that the problem will erupt again and possibly last longer, with severe implications for traffic flows.
