From: Matthew Davis Sent: Monday, August 18, 2014 10:00 PM To: Matthew Davis Subject: FW: Port of Oakland Maritime Operations Update 8/18/14 9:30 PM Please see the message below from our Maritime Division. All labor gates have b een completely open for employee entrance through both the morning and evening shift s, and we greatly appreciate the professional efforts of our partners at the Oakland Polic e Department, the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, and the California Highway Patrol for their outstanding conduct during today's limited demonstrations. Unfortunately, and distressingly, despite the marine terminal having ordered fiv e gangs to work two ships that were in dock at OICT this evening (including the Zim Piraeaus) th e ILWU was not able to muster enough labor to fill even one of these work units which would hav e allowed for the processing of any containers on any of the ships. We will continue to explore every opportunity for continued dialogue with any an d all stakeholders in order to ensure that commerce can be conducted in a safe and eff icient manner at the Port of Oakland. Matt Manager of Governmental Affairs Port of Oakland 530 Water Street Oakland, CA 94607 510-627-1430 (w) 415-516-9249 (c) mdavis@portoakland.com Dear Maritime Stakeholder: At this time, there are about 40 protestors in the Port's maritime area (seaport ), outside the Oakland International Container Terminal (Berths 55-59) - OICT, related to t he on- going Gaza-Israel conflict. Law enforcement is present and terminal gates have been clear all evening for ingress/egress. Despite the tremendous effort by our law enforcement partners, however, operations at OICT were not able to proceed this evening due to insufficient labor reporting for duty. All other terminals are o perating normally. In light of these conditions, Port staff anticipates there may be delays at OICT tomorrow morning. We will keep you updated if circumstances change significantly. We anticipate our next update by 8:00AM tomorrow morning.
