The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have reached a tentative deal on a new <a target="_blank" href="https://ilaunion.org/international-longshoremens-association-ila-and-united-states-maritime-alliance-usmx-announce-tentative-agreement-on-new-six-year-master-contract/" rel="noreferrer noopener">six-year Master Contrac</a>t.
Both parties agreed to extend the current contract until the union can consult with its full Wage Scale Committee and schedule a ratification vote, while USMX members ratify the finalized terms.
The six-year contract, which expired on September 30 last year, was extended until January 15 after a <a target="_blank" href="https://nrf.com/media-center/press-releases/nrf-praises-tentative-labor-deal-for-east-coast-gulf-coast-ports" rel="noreferrer noopener">three-day strike</a>.
"This agreement protects current ILA jobs and establishes a framework for implementing technologies that will create more jobs while modernizing East and Gulf coast ports – making them safer and more efficient, and creating the capacity they need to keep our supply chains strong,"&nbsp;the parties said in a joint statement.
This tentative agreement, once approved, will avoid a potential work stoppage set for January 15, 2025, according to a report from Reuters.
Both sides have hailed it as a mutually beneficial resolution that will not only help workers but also strengthen the American economy as a global marketplace leader.
"This is a win-win agreement that creates ILA jobs, supports American consumers and businesses, and keeps the American economy the key hub of the global marketplace."
The federation further remarked that securing a new contract and preventing further disruptions is crucial to ensuring that retail goods reach consumers on time.
Details of the contract will remain undisclosed for now as the ILA and USMX members review and give their nod for the terms of the agreement.
"We are pleased to see the ILA and USMX come to a final agreement on a new contract, as U.S. ports on the East and Gulf Coasts play a critical role in the retail supply chain," said the National Retail Federation in its statement.
In October, a three-day strike by the ILA led to a spike in shipping costs and cargo delays at 36 ports. Longshoremen resumed work after employers agreed to a 62% wage increase over the following six years.

US Port Union, Employers Clinch Deal In Time To Avoid Supply Chain Chaos

The U.S. has reclassified the Yemen-based Houthi rebels as terrorists following their second attack on an American-operated ship in the Red Sea. This move is expected to have a significant impact on global trade.
What Happened: The U.S. has re-added the Houthi rebels to its list of terrorist organizations, reported Reuters. This decision comes in the wake of the rebels&#8217; second attack on a U.S.-operated vessel in the Red Sea region on Wednesday.
The Houthi militia, which is allied with Iran, has been targeting ships in the region since November. These attacks have disrupted trade between Asia and Europe and raised concerns among major global powers.
The Houthis have justified their actions as a show of solidarity with the Palestinians and have threatened to expand their attacks to include U.S. ships in response to American and British military actions.

Despite the U.S. listing, the Houthi movement has vowed to continue its attacks on ships heading to Israel. The U.S. has imposed the &#8220;Specially Designated Global Terrorist&#8221; label to cut off the rebels&#8217; funding and weapons used in these attacks.
The attacks have led to a significant disruption in global trade, with major shipping lines like A. P. Moller Maersk A/S redirecting their vessels to avoid the Red Sea. This has caused a surge in freight rates and war risk premiums for shipments through the region.
Why It Matters: The U.S. decision to reclassify the Houthi rebels as terrorists comes amid a series of escalations in the region. The rebels&#8217; attacks on ships have already had a significant impact on global trade, with major companies like Shell PLC <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/01/36644653/shell-suspends-red-sea-shipments-as-yemens-houthi-strikes-intensify-an-attack-on-the-global-econom">suspending their Red Sea shipments</a> due to security concerns.
However, there have been some positive developments, such as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36654650/us-uk-airstrikes-temporarily-halt-iranian-arms-shipments-to-yemens-houthi-rebels-but-too-early-to-as">temporary halt of Iranian arms shipments</a> to the rebels following U.S. and UK airstrikes. The effectiveness of these measures is still being assessed.
Despite these efforts, the situation remains volatile, as seen in the recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36627238/houthi-missile-strike-on-us-navy-destroyer-in-red-sea-foiled-by-alert-fighter-aircraft">Houthi missile strike on a U.S. Navy destroyer</a> in the Red Sea, which was successfully intercepted. The U.S. and its allies are working to prevent further escalations and maintain the security of vital trade routes.

What Happened:&nbsp;&nbsp;The Chinese coastal city locked down half of the city and intended to do the same to the other half for four days starting Friday in a two-stage testing exercise, the report noted. While it has kept its airports and deepwater port open, it has imposed stringent movement curbs.
Reuters report quoted Maersk saying, &quot;Trucking service in and out (of) Shanghai will be severely impacted by 30% due to a full lockdown on Shanghai&#39;s Pudong and Puxi areas in turn until 5th April.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;
&quot;Consequently, there will be longer delivery time and a possible rise in transport costs such as detour fee and highway fee.&quot;
The report also quoted SEKO Logistics, a U.S.-based freight transport, and warehousing company, stating that the factories in the neighboring province of Zhejiang were opting to move cargo out of Ningbo&#39;s port rather than Shanghai.
Why It&#39;s Important:&nbsp;The new lockdowns in China have resulted in production disruptions and supply chain delays.
Price Action: AMKBY shares closed higher by 3.85% at $15.77 on Monday.
