VANCOUVER — A logistics researcher says it should take only days for cargo flow to return to pre-strike levels at B.C. ports after a 13-day work stoppage ended with a tentative deal.
Hall says he hopes the tentative agreement between the B.C. Maritime Employers Association and International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada that was announced Thursday includes some sort of commitment towards that goal, since ports including Vancouver will face challenges on that front. Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's operations dashboard this morning shows the Centerm, Vanterm, Deltaport and Fraser Surrey terminals all "operating normally," with truck waiting times for loading and unloading ranging from 20 minutes to one hour and 13 minutes.
The agreement, which the BCMEA says lasts four years, is subject to ratification by members of both the union and the maritime employers, and no additional details have been released.
