Important Update: ILA Strike Impact on Sea Shipments

Subscribe to Meest updates

As of Tuesday, October 1, nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) have initiated a strike, significantly disrupting sea freight operations across almost all major ports along the U.S. East Coast, from Maine to Texas.

Please be assured that Meest continues to work and is actively seeking alternative solutions to ensure the smooth delivery of all sea freight.

In the meantime, air shipments are being delivered smoothly, regularly without delays.

To avoid potential disruptions in sea shipping, we recommend utilizing Meest air shipment services until the situation stabilizes.

We will continue to keep you informed with regular updates.
