\"port<\/a>From Officials of LA\/Long Beach: 3 Months to Clear Congestion<\/p>\n

On Tuesday at the 15th annual TPM [Trans Pacific Maritime] conference, top port officials said\u00a0that it will take three months for the nation\u2019s two busiest seaports to clear the backlog of thousands of cargo containers.<\/p>\n

From Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka, it will take about three months:<\/p>\n

\u201cto get back to a sense of normalcy\u201d<\/p>\n

“We need to get our feet back under us in the first month. Today we first dipped under 30 vessels at anchor in the breakwater. This morning we are working 33 vessels between LA and Long Beach. Last night we had 88 gangs working and this morning, 101 gangs.<\/p>\n

By the end of the month, I hope, by working\u00a0in concert with the liner companies, we can work on how to get the vessels back in a normal order of rotation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

Clearing the backlog is only the first step.<\/p>\n

From JOC:<\/p>\n

Both Seroka and\u00a0Long Beach Port Chief Executive Jon Slangerup\u00a0have\u00a0also committed to radically improving container velocity. Slangerup said:<\/p>\n

“The new normal is going to be better than it was before. We’re deluding ourselves to think we can compete on a world stage with sub-standard performance.<\/p>\n

We’ve been meeting with shippers, their partners on the ocean side and with all our terminal operators to evaluate everything and to reassure paying customers we are doing everything possible to manage through the aftermath of this congestion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly are doing everything we can \u2026 to provide relief valves wherever we can.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
