Recent strikes at major East Coast ports in the United States have led to significant shipping delays and backlogs. These disruptions, rooted in ongoing labour disputes between port unions and management, have affected global supply chains, leading to extended waiting times for goods in transit. At TinPac, we recognize the importance of timely delivery for our clients, and we want to keep you informed about how these strikes may impact your shipments.

Understanding the Shipping Delays

The strikes began as workers at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports pushed for changes to job security and working conditions. Although a recent agreement has been reached, clearing the congestion caused by these strikes will take time. The backlog of vessels waiting for processing means that shipment times may still face delays until port operations return to normal.

Potential Impact on TinPac Shipments

For customers awaiting orders from TinPac, please be aware that some shipments may experience delays. Even orders not directly routed through affected East Coast ports could be impacted, as other ports and shipping routes are taking on additional loads, creating a ripple effect. This increased demand on alternative ports is occasionally leading to rerouted or delayed freight.

How We’re Managing These Challenges

To navigate these disruptions, TinPac is in regular contact with our logistics providers and monitoring shipment status closely. While precise timing may vary, we are making every effort to stay updated on the situation and will communicate any significant changes as they arise.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. For specific questions about your order, please feel free to reach out to us via email or any of our social media platforms. contact@tinpac.com
