Congestion at Los Angeles-Long Beach Ports
From JOC:
Congestion at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach grew worse over the weekend, with no relief in sight as late peak-season container volumes descend on the largest U.S. port complex.
According to PMA President Jim McKenna – the problems at the ports is the chassis issue:
The root of all evils in the harbor is the chassis shortage.
All parties seem to be doing what they can. Based on a meeting with chassis providers, truckers, shipping lines and terminal operators, they are attempting to work out at least a short-term solution to problem. After having met with executives of the three largest equipment providers, they were advised that a long-term solution to the chassis problems will not materialize until early 2015.
