And so it came to pass: the protracted labour dispute between the port of Portland, the ILWU, terminal operator ICTSI Portland and what appeared to be a range of other interests at various points in a two-year saga, has finally broken the will of Hapag-Lloyd, leaving Portland with just niche operator Westwood a one call per month at most.
