The Port of Montreal has issued the following service advisory.
Further to the strike declared by the CUPE 375 Union, please see below customer advisory from Montreal Gateway Terminals Partnership (MGT , Section 62, Section 77)
Trucking Service
Trucking service will remain closed until further notice.
Note that as commercial consideration to shippers and receivers, terminal storage on import and export storage will be suspended for the duration of the closures resulting from this strike.
Rail Service
Given the uncertainty of the operational impacts this strike will have to MGT’s organization post-strike, priority loading updates will be closed until further notice, as will the rerouting of cargo from rail to truck for grounded units, only.
For units in which have not yet arrived, we strongly urge customers to make the necessary routing corrections prior to vessel arrival. We also encourage customers to contact their shipping lines for information regarding MGT’s ERS program for containers moving by rail.
Once operations resume, MGT on a most -feasible basis, will work diligently with our partners to limit the duration of the impacts related to this strike.
