We have not heard about the loaded boats off the port of LA. Has anything changed

[question everything]

or is it just 2021 news, no longer relevant after the holidays?

[BlueJac]

1. Yep!

[unblock]

2. No real news, no real change. They found 60 acres for container storage, but expect

the congestion to continue through the first half of the year.

8. Thank you. Yes, still bad.

3. What do you mean we haven't heard anything?

I’ve read several articles in the last week about the situation. What information are you looking for, specifically?

[question everything]

7. The kind that is linked in the above reply

I was not specifically looking for these news but nothing in the two print papers that I get everyday nor network news, nor on DU.

4. "Logistics Management" has this

The aforementioned import dwell fee, which POLA and neighboring Port of Long Beach (POLB), whom collectively account for roughly 40% of total U.S. imports, was rolled out on October 25, but the fee has since subsequently delayed, as POLA has seen a 53% reduction in import containers dwelling for more than nine days going back to October 24.

What’s more, POLA and POLB said yesterday that they will each delay consideration of the “Container Dwell Fee” until January 10, adding that going back to October 25, the ports have seen a combined decline of 35% in aging cargo on the docks, with year-end holidays slowing the progress compared to previous weeks, as was anticipated.

9. Thanks. What a mess. I hope that at least crewmen can visit the shore on occasions.

5. Southern California's Container-Ship Backlog Moves Farther Out to Sea

Southern California’s Container-Ship Backlog Moves Farther Out to Sea

The backup of container ships waiting to enter the nation’s busiest port complex isn’t letting up. But it has moved farther from shore.

Only about 30 vessels sat within sight of the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach this week, waiting for berths at a gateway that has come to symbolize U.S. supply-chain bottlenecks. More than 60 others destined for the port complex remained in waters farther out to sea, some hundreds or even thousands of miles away, including ships that reduced speed during their voyage from Asia to delay their arrival.

The system has hidden from view a big part of the armada of cargo ships waiting to unload. But the backup at the biggest gateway for U.S. container imports remains as large as ever, with the lineup of vessels now stretching across the Pacific, signaling that big volumes of cargo are still heading for port terminals, warehouses and transportation networks that have been swamped by the imports.

Jim McKenna, chief executive of the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents West Coast terminal operators in labor negotiations, said some ships now take 22 to 24 days to complete a voyage from Asia that used to take 10 to 14 days.

6. I saw a bunch of fall type decor stuff appear in a store. Store clerk says due to containers

showing up now.

10. They couldn't blame it on Biden so dropped it from the news since that would be anti-corporate.

The ships are still piling up. Production, distribution and retailing are all controlled by for profit corporations, not the government.

Just sayin'.

13. We were not supposed to have Christmas and President Biden was to blame

but we had Christmas so the media dropped it.
