West Update Regarding ILA Port Strike Affecting East Coast and Gulf Ports
In response to the strike by International Longshoremen’s Association impacting the US East Coast and Gulf Ports, West is committed to providing timely and transparent communications as we navigate this evolving situation.
Our Logistics team is working closely with our logistics partners to take proactive measures to mitigate risk and minimize delays wherever possible. The team has identified and secured access for alternative routings for the near term.
It is important to recognize that this is a dynamic situation, outside of our control and any significant duration of this strike would have a compounding affect across all facets of ocean shipping as well as increased costs for alternative transport methods.
At this time, we request our customers to respond quickly and provide flexibility to inquiries or requests from our Account Managers and Customer Success representatives as we strive to minimize supply disruption.
We appreciate your support and will continue to provide updates of any changes that might affect your business operations.
