We are now in the second week, post return-to-work, for operations in terminals on Canada’s West Coast and in Montreal. This will be the final advisory as most services have returned to business-as-usual, or have communicated plans of when services will return to proforma. If you still have containers pending transport due to delayed arrivals or congestion, you’ll be notified via standard arrival notices and communications. Please bear with us as we work through the impacts of the work stoppage and return to services.
