Mexico’s largest port, the Port of Manzanillo, is grappling with severe operational delays and container backlogs nearly a week after reopening from a customs workers’ strike, FreightWaves reported.

Industry leaders estimate the port could lose up to $150 million in revenue, and normal operations may take up to five weeks to resume.
