Full recovery may be a ways off as freight transportation by rail experiences long delays
two of its four container facilities still had dwell times — the time it takes for containers to be taken away after being unloaded from the ship — of more than seven days. The longer cargo is stuck in port, the more it costs shippers in higher inventory holding costs.
Ongoing labour issues have also contributed to a lack of drayage capacity at railyards. Fewer available truck drivers to make short hauls from ports or other areas means increased dwell times for imports arriving in Toronto and Montreal. The more delayed containers there are sitting in the yards, the longer it can take to locate and load the correct one.
CN spokesperson Jonathan Abecassis confirmed that CN has set up temporary additional capacity in both Montreal and Toronto. Kuzeljevich said the CIFAA has joined industry stakeholders to call upon Transport Canada to look at where pressures can be taken off the system.
