Port & Terminal Report — February 2026

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ──────────────────────────────────────── Ports monitored: 48 globally Terminal operators: 12 tracked Chassis pools: 4 providers Labor unions: 2 major agreements KEY INSIGHTS LA/Long Beach congestion building with 18-vessel queue — divert discretionary cargo to Savannah and Prince Rupert. D&D costs at $4.8M annually, primarily LA-driven. ILA contract expiration Sep 2026 creates East Coast strike risk — begin contingency planning. Prince Rupert offers fastest Asia-Chicago transit.
