NEW YORK (Reuters) - The largest dockworker strike in nearly fifty years has entered its third day at U.S. East Coast ports, threatening shortages of goods ranging from bananas to auto parts and causing a backlog of ships anchored outside major ports.

Major retailers are implementing back-up shipping plans to ensure goods arrive in time for the peak holiday season.

According to bill of lading data from Import Yeti, a data firm, here are some of the top retailers that have been the highest users of East and Gulf Coast ports for importing products between January through August this year. Retailers whose products are bulky, like furniture, typically use more shipping containers.
