Los Angeles and Long Beach Container Imports Are Declining

Since 2009, September imports into the Port of Los Angeles haven’t been as low as reported by Freight Waves.

Declining demand

Due to American businesses shipping in their year-end holiday merchandise, September is often a favorable month for West Coast imports. Unlikely in 2022.

In the midst of the Great Recession, the Port of Los Angeles on Wednesday reported its lowest import total for September since 2009. The day prior, the nearby Port of Long Beach reported its lowest September import total...

City of Long Beach allows logistics companies to stack containers higher

The city of Long Beach on Friday issued an emergency order allowing businesses to temporarily increase how high they can stack ocean containers in their lots in an effort to reduce the massive gridlock gripping the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

The rule change does not apply to terminals at the Port of Long Beach, which routinely stack containers up to five high. Many media reports over the weekend didn’t make a distinction between the port and inland zone, making it appear the port had...

Chassis shortages and efforts to dig out containers at rail terminals continue to characterize the rail side of the U.S. import supply chain in some areas, according to customer advisories published this week by Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd.

Maersk is continuing to see “high impact” for rail operations serving facilities at Chicago, Cleveland, Atlanta and Memphis, Tennessee, because of chassis shortages.

Παράλληλα, διαφαίνεται ότι οι παρούσες υποδομές εντός του λιμένα δεν μπορούν να διαχειριστούν τον όγκο των απαιτούμενων μεταφορικών συνδέσεων ειδικά υπό αυτή την πίεση. Με τις παρούσες μεταφορικές...
