Congestion increased in Canada’s West Coast ports after union workers began the strike on July 1st
Posted on July 7, 2023 |
Canada’s ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert saw signs of the bottleneck on day 3 of the strike.
The ILWU’s contract with BC Maritime Employers Association ended in March as the union does not want a similar situation to the US west coast, where contract negotiations lasted over a year.
In Vancouver’s outer harbor, many bulk carriers were waiting for berths but there were no signs of box ships backing up.
Meanwhile, Prince Rupert saw minimal traffic with no vessels backing up.
