We recognize the urgency of resuming cargo operations and want to assure you that our team is working diligently to restore services efficiently and safely.

Operational Continuation Plan:

Vessel Operations:
Resumes on Friday, October 4th at 7:00 PM. We encourage our steamship line partners to expedite the evacuation of empty containers to maximize empty return appointments for the trucking community and facilitate double moves at the gate.

Resumes with a modified gate on Saturday, October 5th. The demurrage clock will also restart, per NYTC tariff, on this day for all cargo either within free time or already in demurrage prior to the work stoppage.
