Dear Valued Customer,We are pleased to announce that as of October 3, 2024 the International Longshoreman Association (ILA) union announced that operations would resume October 4, 2024 for some ports and all by October 7, 2024 after reaching a tentative deal with USMX.
This brings a halt to the strike and work stoppage started on October 1, 2024 at 12:01 am; which continues to cause disruptions and delays to East and Gulf Coast services. ZIM will continue to monitor the affects of the strike and work stoppage with regards to congestion and will make a determination on whether to implement the previously announced surcharge. At this time the surcharge will not be implemented as of October 8, 2024.
During the Strike and work stoppage, the ILA did not handle or move any containers or cargo at the affected East and Gulf Costs. Cargo coming to, leaving from, or moving within the affected East and Gulf Coasts were subject to rail stoppage and, among other impacts, marine terminals remained closed. Delays and disruptions are expected to continue in the near future. As such, pursuant to Clause 16 of the Bill of Lading, ZIM has declared that a Force Majeure event has occurred.
ZIM remains ready to assist customers in exploring options to keep their supply chains moving through alternative routes while the effects of the strike and work stoppage continue. To help you plan, please reach out to your local ZIM sales representative.

Dear Valued Customer,
We would like to inform you that in light of the potential strike action by the International Longshoreman Association (ILA), there may be a disruption to East and Gulf Coasts services starting October 1st, 2024. In case there will be a strike, it may disrupt container availability, cargo and regular vessel operation in the U.S East Coast and Gulf ports.
We recommend all customers to adhere to the relevant port authorities and intermodal service providers guidelines regarding the opening / closing times schedules of all facilities.
Export Shipments: While we continue to accept dry bookings, we stopped accepting booking for export of Dangerous good (DG) and Reefer cargo. Please note that existing DG and Reefers bookings with sail dates from October 1st 2024 forward have been canceled and will need to be rebooked, once we resume accepting new booking. All customers should make the necessary alternative arrangements in order to avoid the risk of any damage being caused to their shipments. For all inland rail bookings, please check the providers website prior to delivering the container.
Import Shipments: We urge all customers to hasten/expedite their customs’ clearance and remove cargos from the terminals before September 30th, given that it may not be feasible to move containers if any strike will be declared by then. As the terminals are currently extending their gate hours, we recommend making every effort to move the containers in order to avoid any unnecessary demurrage and detention charges. Please check each terminal website to confirm hours of operation.Port Congestion surcharge will be updated for cargo moving between US East Coast and Gulf Coast ports, as detailed in the below table:
Effective Date
US East Coast and Gulf Coast Import
US East Coast and Gulf Coast Export
8th October 2024
USD 1,000 per container
USD 1,000 per container
23rd October 2024
USD 1,500 per 20’ container
USD 1,000 per container
USD 2,800 per 40’/45’ container
The above charge is in addition to the applicable base freight charges, THC, bunker, ESS and security-related charges which are provided in ZIM's Tariff Calculator, (U.S. trades are provided in www.boterates.com User: ZfreA6 Password: Access16!) as well as other charges for additional services, local charges and contingency charges, subject to monthly review and update).
Detention and Demurrage: ZIM will align the Detention and Demurrage charges with those of the terminal where the container is located at the time the strike takes effect.
ZIM will not be held accountable for any expenses, costs and damages caused as a result of this strike and urge all customers to make all arrangements accordingly.
Our Operational teams are constantly evaluating the situation and will attempt to make necessary adjustments in our schedules as reasonably and operationally feasible, to lessen any delays to our voyages.
For additional information, please contact your Account owner or customer service team.
