Port Congestion Backed Up to Our Dock: How Montreal Terminal Slowdown Hits
Port of Montreal congestion doesn't stay at the terminal. When container dwell stretches, drayage windows close and our inbound SLAs compress. We run dock-to-stock at 48 hours normally; a three-day terminal hold erases that buffer entirely. The problem cascades: slower inbound means less space for outbound cross-dock, racking density climbs, and importers start paying in/out fees for delays they didn't create.
