In today's fast-paced world, the seamless movement of equipment, machinery, and components is crucial for the success of businesses in this sector. From heavy machinery to intricate components, this sector is responsible for creating the tools and equipment that drive progress. However, the sheer size and weight of machinery, the need for specialized handling, and the needs of the supply chain make it a complex endeavor. Delays, damages, or mismanagement can lead to substantial financial losses and disrupted operations.

At JAS, we partner with a wide range of industrial and manufacturing producers, including manufacturers of industrial automation, electronic products, construction materials, and other high-value goods. Our comprehensive services encompass the entire production journey, from material sourcing to delivery of the final product.

Flight Operations Utilized for Industrial Client

JAS prides itself on the ability to make a difference for their customers. So, when an industrial sector client reached out to them about moving a 650 CBM piece of machinery from the USA to Italy, JAS was able to quickly mobilize and find the most efficient solution, in the most challenging market.

The shipment was coordinated by the JAS Como branch in Italy in cooperation with the JAS Memphis branch in the USA.

Due to its nonstandard dimensions, the shipment required five Blue World Atlantic flights from Chicago to Frankfurt. Once the cargo arrived in Frankfurt, a total of 15 trucks were used for its final delivery to the client in Italy.

JAS offers weekly flight operations on the transatlantic trade lane with predictable lead times to and from the USA and Europe. These flights provide guaranteed capacity and control and each flight offers a hub solution so transfers can be arranged to and from multiple origin and destination points.

Thanks to the collaboration of both the JAS USA and JAS Italy teams, the customers' demands were successfully met and the shipment arrived safely and on time.

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have reached a tentative agreement on a new six-year Master Contract, helping to provide stability for East and Gulf Coast ports.
Customer Advisory: ILA and USMX Reach Tentative Six-Year Master Contract Agreement

The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) have reached a tentative agreement on a new six-year Master Contract, helping to provide stability for East and Gulf Coast ports. The agreement, announced on January 8, 2025, prevents a potential work stoppage scheduled for January 15.


In a joint statement, the ILA and USMX highlighted the agreement's importance: "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."


The contract, which is subject to ratification by both parties, supports job creation and port efficiency while helping sustain the U.S. economy's role in global trade. Further details will remain confidential until the review and approval process is complete.


This milestone agreement marks a collaborative step forward for the maritime industry, ensuring stability and growth in the years to come.

Arctic transport in action.
JAS Projects Delivers Heavy Transport Near the Polar Circle 

JAS Projects and JAS Sweden are proud to share an exciting achievement in heavy transport, executed deep in northern Sweden near the Polar Circle. This unique project involves the movement of oversized cargo through challenging winter conditions, where temperatures plummet as low as minus 15 degrees Celsius. 

The cargos dimensions are impressive: 

  • Max Weight: 240 tons 
  • Max Length: 49 meters 
  • Max Width: 6.5 meters 
  • Max Height: 5.15 meters 

Transporting such massive loads requires meticulous planning, technical expertise, and flawless teamwork—all of which were on full display as our team worked tirelessly to ensure safe and efficient delivery through the icy terrain. 

Luiz Dos Santos, Project Coordinator at JAS Projects, accompanied the operation and shared his firsthand experience. For Luiz, this was his first opportunity to be on-site for a heavy-lift transport, and it proved to be both thrilling and educational: 

"A thrilling mission in the far north. I accompanied the heavy transport from start to finish through the icy winter landscape of northern Sweden. It was an extraordinary and impressive experience to see the required precision and flawless teamwork with my own eyes. The execution, as well as the planning, are significantly more complex than they often appear from the desk. So, it was all the more helpful to have experienced the entire process firsthand."

This operation is a testament to the team's commitment to excellence, even in extreme environments. From intricate planning to navigating unpredictable Arctic conditions, the success of this transport highlights our ability to deliver solutions tailored to every challenge. 

Customer Advisory: ILA Strike Update 2
Customer Advisory: ILA Strike Update 2

As you may have seen in recent news, labor negotiations between the ILA and the USMX remain unresolved. While a tentative agreement was reached in October 2024 to extend the Master Contract until January 15, 2025, key issues are still under negotiation, raising concerns about potential port disruptions.

Despite ongoing efforts to reach a resolution, the risk of disruption is increasing as the deadline approaches, though the situation remains dynamic.

Current Negotiation Status:

  • Tentative Agreement: On October 3, 2024, ILA and USMX reached a tentative agreement on wages and extended the Master Contract until January 15, 2025. This extension allows both parties to continue negotiations on outstanding issues.
  • Concerns Over Automation: The ILA has expressed strong opposition to any form of automation that could jeopardize jobs. While they support modernization that enhances efficiency, they insist that it should not come at the cost of job losses. The ongoing discussions have become increasingly tense as both sides strive to find common ground.

Potential for Disruption:

As negotiations remain stalled, the risk of disruption at East and Gulf Coast ports is escalating. Stakeholders across various industries are urging both parties to reach a resolution to avoid further economic impacts.

Carrier Surcharges:

Proactively, several carriers, including CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd, and ZIM, have announced the implementation of surcharges due to the potential for labor disruptions:

  • ZIM: Starting January 10, 2025, ZIM will implement an ILA Strike Surcharge for cargo moving to or from U.S. East Coast and Gulf ports. This surcharge will apply until further notice and is intended to cover additional costs incurred due to potential strikes or labor-related disruptions.
  • Hapag-Lloyd: The company has introduced two surcharges—the Work Disruption Surcharge (WDS) and Work Interruption Destination Surcharge (WID)—effective January 20, 2025. These surcharges will cover additional costs from labor disruptions and will apply if a strike occurs.
  • CMA CGM: Similar measures have been taken by CMA CGM, which has warned clients about potential surcharges for cargo moving in and out of U.S. East and Gulf Coast terminals in light of ongoing negotiations.

As the deadline draws near, it is anticipated that all carriers will implement similar surcharges. As we continue to monitor developments, JAS as well reserves the right to activate the BWL congestion surcharges should any actions be taken by the ILA.

Impact of Previous Strike Action:

The previous three-day strike in October 2024 caused significant delays and operational disruptions, affecting:

  • 36 ports handling over half of U.S. container volume.
  • Increased fees for freight storage and detention.
  • Prolonged transit times due to vessel rerouting.

Mitigating Future Disruptions:

To minimize risks, businesses should consider these strategies:

  • Divert shipments to alternate ports, such as those on the West Coast.
  • Anticipate congestion at rerouted locations.
  • Leverage air freight for time-sensitive cargo.
  • Utilize intermodal solutions for inland transportation.
  • Be prepared for increased shipping costs and fees.
  • Stay informed and work proactively with logistics partners to reduce delays.

Guidance from JAS:

JAS Worldwide continues to support clients during this uncertain period. Businesses are encouraged to prepare for potential disruptions by exploring alternative routing options and staying informed about ongoing negotiations. JAS is available to provide tailored solutions to help mitigate risks associated with these developments.As the January deadline approaches, both parties must work diligently to resolve their differences and secure a stable working environment for longshore workers and businesses alike.
