Maybe I can get some help here. I am a NC Nissan dealer who has several Z cars on order, and I am doing some research. I am wondering how, if at all, this strike could affect delivery of my Z car orders. My cars arrive at Newport News VA, but I do not know if the routes will be affected or not. ANyone who may know more about how the east coast may be affected please let me know. I have talked with a couple of Nissan folks, and I'm not sure if they can answer my questions or not.
Thanks

I don't know anything for sure, but this strike only affects loading and unloading of cargo. I wouldn't think Nissan is unloading and reloading east coast cars out here before sending them through the canal.
The logical assumption is they are shipping them direct from Japan to Newport News via the Panama Canal and your cars won't be delayed by our labor mess out here.

Second, the routes that serve the east coast are NOT connected to the routes that serve the west coast, so provided the east & west coast routes use unique boats (that is, they don't share), then there shouldn't be an impact to the east coast.
In my conversations with the folks as DAS in Newark, they said there are no plans to reroute west coast boats east and distribute cars from the east coast. Yet.
In short, you shouldn't see a delay, but it is possible that Nissan may take corrective action to compensate for the west coast delays which may have an as-yet unpredictable effect on the east coast deliveries.
It will be VERY interesting to see how this whole thing pans out.
