STREJKEVARSEL på USA’s østkyst fra 1/10

Som mange af jer sikkert har hørt, planlægges en strejke, der potentielt kan påvirke alle havne på USA’s østkyst. 
Dette vil være med virkning allerede fra den 1. oktober 2024. Baggrunden for strejken er en uenighed i forhandlingerne mellem havnearbejdernes fagforening og terminaloperatører, om løn og automatisering. Hvis der ikke opnås enighed i sidste øjeblik, forventes strejken at føre til betydelige forstyrrelser i vores strømme til og fra USA.

Nedenfor er information fra vores agent i USA om, hvordan dette vil påvirke vores importstrømme fra USA.
Vi vill sørge for at holde jer informeret, om hvordan vores eksporttrafik er påvirket, og komme med opdateringer efterhånden som situationen udvikler sig.


“Following our previous announcements related to the potential strike affecting all U.S East & Gulf coast ports as of Oct. 1st, 2024, we would like to provide you the following update specific to our LCL Export Services:
 
As the situation remains fluid and the likelihood of a strike is not yet known, we will continue to move LCL export cargo as we normally do. LCL Consolidations that can be returned to terminals up until Sept. 30th will be handled accordingly.
 
We are also implementing a LCL Export Emergency Congestion Surcharge with the amount $35 w/m, minimum $35 per HBL.

Hazardous shipments loading out of Chicago moving to the East Coast via rail will be held as carriers/rail operators have stopped accepting dangerous goods in anticipation of the strike. Other hazardous bookings loading from our East & Gulf coasts consolidation points can be loaded based on the carrier’s acceptance.

We also ask that customers who would like their cargo to be held at our warehouse instead to please contact your local Ecu Worldwide office. Any shipments staying at one of our warehouses over the 21-day free time period may be subject to storage charges per our published tariff.

For East Coast origin cargo to Europe/Scandinavia, we will offer re-routing option via Chicago if we receive enough demand for it. Other contingency routes can be reviewed on a case-by-case basis depending on the port pair.

We thank you for your understanding and continued support.”
