The International Longshore and Warehouse Union of Canada (ILWU) and the British Columbia Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA) late Sunday announced a tentative labor agreement.
Canadian Labor Minister Seamus O'Regan commented Monday morning on the announcement of another tentative deal.
This latest tentative deal does not mean the uncertainty is over.
The first tentative labor deal was rejected by the union body in a two-day vote last week.
A 14-day strike has led to more than 16 canceled sailings to the Canadian ports, according to maritime intelligence company, eeSea.
