Please be advised that all container terminals at the Port of Oakland are currently closed due to an ILWU labor walkout. As a result, import and export containers are unable to move through the port, and shipment delays are expected.
According to local sources, the walkout is in support of an ongoing labor dispute at the Port of Richmond, CA. Customers with cargo moving through Oakland should be aware of potential delays and congestion-related charges if the disruption continues.
If you have shipments moving through Oakland, please contact your Laufer sales representative or Customer Service team to discuss potential impacts and available options.
We will provide updates when Oakland terminals resume operations or if disruptions expand beyond the current geography.
