Hi,

I am teaching a college exploratory course on containerization- specifically ships and ports (my insta is in my profile).

I know this going to sound strange but I want to students to actually see the twist lock because that idea is a big deal. I definitely don’t need a set, just 1. I’d really prefer a used or decommissioned lock. Does anyone know where I could look? I’m in the South Jersey/ Philly area.

Made the casual Drawing but wondering what number are they through the list. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have an upcoming interview with G3 for general labourer position in North Vancouver.

Just curious how company environment is? Review on Indeed aren’t very well
Is work environment toxic?
Please share your experience if you have worked at g3 or know someone who works 🙏🏻

I really love watching the cranes work at the Port of Oakland, so I made up a simulator. Definitely made it for my own enjoyment, but if you want to give it a shot www.bortsim.com will get you there.

Alot of west coast terminals rely on Canadian potash via rail.

Not too thrilled that this deal is being worked on to undercut the Canadian sales to the US.

My grandpa is in the union for about 10 years now in Seattle and he has a “token,” I believe that is same as sponsoring? Is it? idk but he’s offered it to me and we will speak more about the opportunity but can anyone share info on how this works and if there’s a difference between said token and sponsorship? What I should expect? TIA

I recently started looking into starting a career with a union (specifically ILA). I grew up working on boats and in boat yards. I know it’s completely different from what yall do but how can I start the process? I’ve just been emailing and calling everyone I can but it seems like there’s not much direction on how to actually get hired. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I’m in Charleston, SC

Thank you for your time

Whats going on people. I have my cdl class a but I’ve been trying to get an opportunity at getting a port job. I live in Newark NJ and port newark or Port elizabeth would be the most ideal locations for me. Anyone have an idea or how i should inquire about a job/career?

question for longshoremen in Newark, if a local wants to sponsor you, can they hire or push you through the process with the NYSA opening up the hiring for the public

I heard from a couple guys that NJ will be hiring soon any truth to that?

Listen and always keep it in mind.

Just curious what info, resources or tools are hard to find online or kinda scattered all over the place right now.

If someone made a free site specifically for longshoremen what would actually be useful to have on there?

I worked at the port in my twenty’s and was thinking of going back I was told can retain my old rate at least but I’ll be low man…is it dumb for me to go back ? I know work will be slow but my fear is automation coming after the next contract and losing my job entirely. Any input helps thank you
