Here's an update on Operational Interruptions at Vancouver and Montreal, Canada - Update 7

Here is the latest update to the recent events that have impacted transportation into and out of Vancouver:

Recovery at the Port of Vancouver is underway and efforts to rebalance the supply chain are being made.

Both CP and CN rail lines are now clear and operational.
