Canada – Montreal / Halifax / Saint John – Vessel Update
As a result of the seven month truce announced on Friday between the Maritime Employers Association (MEA), the Montreal Longshore Union (CUPE 375) and the Checkers Union (ILA), the Port of Montreal is now operating.
Please see the latest vessel summary with changes highlighted below.
It will take some weeks to clear the backlog of vessels and cargo in the terminals which were impacted because of this interruption.
Both railroads will need to readjust their networks to reinstate normal operations in Montreal while at the same time clear the backlogs in both Saint John and Halifax. We very much value your business and appreciate your patience during these challenging times. We will keep you informed about further developments.
