With the possibility of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) pausing operations at all East and Gulf Coast ports, the potential ripple effects on global trade could be significant. This would mark the first ILA strike since 1977, and its impact could extend well beyond the U.S. East Coast.
Industry stakeholders, including major shipping lines, are already preparing for significant disruptions. Stranded shipments from these regions could lead to extensive backlogs and increased costs as Canadian and Mexican ports lack the capacity to absorb U.S. spillover.
It is estimated that a one-week shutdown due to the strike could take 4 to 6 weeks to recover from.
