Dear Valued Customers,
International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and United States Maritime Alliance (USMX)” have reached a tentative agreement to re-open container terminals at East and Gulf Coast ports and they have agreed to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025 to return to the bargaining table to negotiate all other outstanding issues.
Therefore all the strike acitivities have ended at this stage.
However the 3 day strike may cause some delays on the port operations a while.
As the result of this tentative agreement between ILA and USMX, Turkon will suspend “Port Disruption Surcharge (PDS)” until a further notice.
Please kindly be advised that,
You may get in touch with your Customer Representative if you need any additional information or visit our web site for further implementation and service details.
