The ports strike is over…is its impact? There was a 30% decrease in the number of weekly port calls conducted on the U.S. East Coast by container vessels and bulk carriers between Sept. 22-28 and Sept. 29-Oct 5 as a result of the ILA strike. Windward Maritime AI™ insights: 🚢 Container vessel port calls dropped by 52% 📍 New York experienced a 51% decline in port calls 📊 Norfolk saw a 54% reduction in port activity ⚓ Philadelphia had a 50% fall in port calls ⏲️ Shipments to NYC are facing 0-17 day delays, with many vessels anchoring near Halifax ⏳ Norfolk shipments are delayed 15-20 days, with vessels drifting, or rerouting While we’re glad to see the strike resolved, we encourage businesses to brace for a ripple effect in the supply chain, such as delays, port congestion, and operational disruptions, which will likely take weeks to recover.

Why did our Red Sea Crisis Awareness campaign win first place at the 2024 Digital Communication Awards (DCA) in the B2B Communications category? Because we quickly adapted to Houthi attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and launched a data-driven initiative utilizing our Maritime AI™ platform to deliver critical insights and updates to the maritime and supply chain ecosystems. As always, illuminating what is really happening and helping mitigate risks were two of our guiding principles. Thanks to our incredible marketing team, analysts and everyone involved in the campaign. And a big thank you to the DCA and all of our supporters. #DCA2024 #B2BCommunications #RedSea
