The Container Trucking Association of Ontario (CTAO) withdrew several of their services in Toronto last week in an effort to increase their compensation from employers. All facilities in Toronto remain open to truckers, but many who have chosen to continue working have received violent threats meant to intimidate them into joining the strike.

For more information, please see the attached notification sent by Hapag-Lloyd advising customers to re-route their cargo to avoid terminal delays due to this strike.

Yesterday we received word that the pass between Mendoza, Argentina, and Santiago, Chile, was closed due to inclement weather conditions in the mountains.

We will continue to monitor this situation and keep you abreast of any developments. As always, if you have any questions or concerns about the movement of cargo in the region, please feel free to contact us.

Many factors affect transit times. Below please find an update on current issues that may affect the movement of your cargo:

�Severe weather conditions hit the Chilean central zone in mid-August with massive waves and high winds forcing port closures in San Antonio and Valparaiso. Vessels scheduled to call on the ports during this time frame had to omit the port call and depart without loading cargo. The result has been a backlog of cargo, and we have received reports of some short shipments and delays.
