About the Port Shutdown Calculator tool:
- Estimates the value of goods disrupted or delayed from import/export due to the port shutdown.
- Estimates the value of trade per day at $800M and divides that by 24 hours.
- It does not estimate the economic impact of the disruption on the Canadian economy.
- As the strike continues, the economic impact will grow substantially due to plant shutdowns, lack of inventory affecting sales or production, and myriad other impacts on the British Columbian and Canadian economy.
- Rail companies have publicly stated that one day of stoppage results in three to five days of recovery.
