The longer cargo is stuck in port, the more it costs shippers in higher inventory holding costs.<\/p>\n<p>Both Canadian Pacific Railway Ltd. (CP) and Canadian National Railway Co. (CN) reported dwell times of more than seven days at the Centerm terminal in Vancouver, while CN reported the same delay at the FSD terminal.<\/p>\n<p>Ongoing labour issues have also contributed to a lack of drayage capacity at railyards. Fewer available truck drivers to make short hauls from ports or other areas means increased dwell times for imports arriving in Toronto and Montreal. The more delayed containers there are sitting in the yards, the longer it can take to locate and load the correct one.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<div class=\"ad__section-border
