06 Dec Canada’s Ports Progress Report
Following the recent agreement between the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Canada and British Columbia Maritime Employers (BCMEA), which saw all Industrial Action cease, the impacted ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert are clearing out container backlogs that accumulated throughout this period. Substantial progress has been made since the agreement has been reached.
Since retailers are forecasting a muted peak season in the eastbound trans-Pacific this fall, Vancouver and Prince Rupert anticipate their operations will remain fluid in the coming months.
