USA West Coast Port Dispute - finally President Obama sends in the Cavalry!

Afternoon All


Please see attached latest update, Mr Obama has finally listened and sent in the Cavalry…in the shape of Tom Perez, US Labor Secretary. There are now 33 vessels sitting in the bay, awaiting unloading at LA/Longbeach…!

This dispute has been dragging on for 9 months now and is clearly harming the US economy and adding huge costs to US importers who are forced to pay extra costs to import through LA/Long Beach or make costly divertions into other unaffected ports such as Houston. This is what we're doing for one of our large US customers.
