Your Maersk North America Weekly Reader

Tacoma experienced some short-term delays end of last week due to flooding in the PNW. 

Los Angeles/Long Beach is expected to experience slighly elevated import dwell through rest of year due to higher volumes and railcar balance/supply. As this behavior is being seen across the waterway, railcar supply is deficit and elevated import dwell is expected from week 51 into early January. We are working with railroad providers as well as our export/empty equipment teams to increase flow of railcars to the PSW as much as possible so that we can re-balance the network and mitigate dwell impact as much as possible. Dwells up to 7 days can be expected throughout December. If you have extremely urgent containers, please also reach out for contingency options or leverage opportunity to use our Rail HotBox program through Pier 400, which prioritizes cargo on the first train post-discharge. 

GULF: 

Network remains fluid. 

U.S. EAST COAST: 

Network remains fluid. 

CANADA 

We are seeing elevated pre-rail dwell at Regina due to crane maintenance. CN is working through loading as efficiently as possible to keep up with demand. Winter weather is resulting in reduced train lengths and velocity throughout the Canadian network. Please expect some congestion to arise throughout second half of December. We will communicate weekly on the progress.
