Canadian Government Steps In<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OTTAWA, Aug 22 (Reuters) – The Canadian government moved quickly on Thursday to end an unprecedented rail stoppage the same day it began, announcing it would send the matter to binding arbitration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canada’s top two railroads had locked out more than 9,000 unionized workers, triggering a simultaneous rail stoppage that business groups said could inflict hundreds of millions of dollars in economic damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon told reporters he was acting “in order to ensure that the activities of both of these rail companies immediately resume”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delays in Ocean Shipping Worse in 2024 than 2023<\/strong>
(excerpted from container-news.com)<\/u><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2024, global schedule reliability saw a month-over-month increase of 3.8 percentage points, reaching 55.8%. This marks the highest reliability figure for 2024, surpassing the previous peak of 54.6% by 1.2 percentage points. However, compared to May 2023, schedule reliability was down by 11 percentage points (emphasis added).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this improvement, the average delay for vessels arriving late worsened, rising by 0.34 days month-over-month to 5.10 days. This figure now approaches levels seen during the pandemic peak rather than the lower delays seen before the pandemic. Year-over-year, the delay in May 2024 was 0.73 days longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a year-to-year level, none of the 13 carriers recorded an increase in schedule reliability, with eight carriers recording double-digit year-to-year declines<\/strong>, according to the analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
