The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) has set a strike date for October 1, prompting East and Gulf Coast ports to prepare for potential disruptions in marine container traffic. With contract negotiations stalled, many ports are urging shippers to expedite cargo retrieval and extend gate hours. Notably, the Port of Jacksonville anticipates that the strike could impact about one-third of its business, while the Maryland Port Administration has confirmed that cruise and military operations will remain unaffected. As we approach this critical date, it’s essential for all stakeholders to stay proactive and plan accordingly. Our team is here to support you through these challenges.
