The USDA Grain Transportation Report for January 16, 2025 notes a tentative labor deal for East and Gulf Coast ports that averted a January 15 shutdown. The contract covers six years and includes a 62% pay increase agreed in October.
Details remain confidential until members review and approve the agreement.
The report confirms the port labor deal reduces shipping disruption risk for grain exports, supporting lower ocean freight risk premiums. Its effect is incremental since the deal was already widely reported.
