A WORD FROM ALL WORLD SHIPPING

U.S STRIKE & PORT SHUTDOWN POSSIBILITY

Dear AWS Agents and Friends,

The U.S. International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) contract is set to expire at midnight on September 30th.  The ILA and ocean carrier management are running out of time to reach an agreement and there is a real possibility of a strike by longshoremen at U.S. East Coast and Gulf ports if a new labor contract is not in place by the end of September.

It is anticipated that labor unrest (strikes, lock-outs, work stoppages, work slowdown, etc.) at any U.S. port will disrupt all carrier operations, resulting in labor shortages, congestion and the need to divert shipments to other ports. Any of these actions will increase operating costs and the effects will be felt for many months.

It is expected that strike action on the USEC will also result in extreme congestion in the ports on the West Coast. Ocean carriers will not divert cargo manifested to discharge in any USEC port to discharge at USWC ports as it will not be worked by the ILWU.

Although it is expected that the U.S. Government will try to apply pressure on the contract parties to return to the table the possibility of a strike needs to be taken into consideration when booking cargo to the U.S. at the moment. We will monitor the situation and update everyone accordingly.

Sincerely,

Ross Stemmler
President and COO
All World Shipping Corp.
