Maersk Warns: 80% of U.S. East Coast Cargo at Risk as Strike Deadline Looms

A.P. Møller-Maersk has issued a stark warning to its customers, urging them to remove cargo from U.S. eastern and Gulf of Mexico ports before January 15. This deadline marks the potential onset of a strike by dockworkers, which could disrupt operations at these ports. The company highlighted that there have been no new developments in the negotiations between the dockworkers and their employers since the last update. This lack of progress increases the risk of a strike, which could severely impact the flow of goods through these critical trade gateways. Maersk’s advisory comes as a proactive measure to mitigate potential disruptions, emphasizing the urgency for businesses to act swiftly to safeguard their supply chains.
