Port congestion is still focus on logistics industry staff, especially in Los Angeles / Long Bega, West Coast.

There is a report that container ships outside the two ports have reduced nearly half. At present, the capacity of container ships outside Los Angeles / Long Beach has fallen from 109 peaks from January 9 to 48.

YUSEN TERMINAL is one of the 13 pier of Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Before we last weekend, 1,000 trucks have a truck, and the terminal works in order.

However, there are analysts warn that the number of ships coming from Asia may have surge. This will bring a small pressure to the nearby terminal, which will lead to the ship to raise the long team outside the port.

According to the estimation of the South California Maritime Exchange, since the end of February, the capacity of the container ship has been hovering between 40 and 60, but this situation will soon change.

According to the data of the Long Beach Port Digital Platform WAVE, it is expected to grow 33.8% over this week. The Los Angeles Port Signal Platform is expected that the full load of the port will increase by 63.4%.

Marine Intelligence Maritime Analysis Company SEA Intelligence data shows that the number of ships from Asia from the beginning of March is slightly higher than expected. 

The head of the person in charge of Murphy predicted that the average import volume per week will be 20% higher than the same period last year.

It means that the number of ship lines to the Los Angeles / Long Beach Port can be returned to the previous 100 or more.

American inland supply chain block

The SEA-Intelligen Co-CEO Murphy also said that before the bottleneck of the American inland supply chain, the congestion of the American port is hard to relieve.

ED Denike, president of the Long Beach Port Operator, said that the main source of Southern California port congestion is still a warehouse, even if the import volume has decreased in the past few weeks, the warehouse still cannot process in time.

As a result, although there is enough labor, the shipping terminal is still full of imported containers that cannot be shipped to the warehouse.

NOEL HACEGABA, deputy director and Chief Operating Officer, deputy director, said that port operators are working with shipping companies and railway companies to maximize the use of railway yards on the pier.

These yards can be used in all 12 piers of Los Angeles / Long Beach Port. Two years ago, multimodal railway transportation volume accounted for 30% of the total transport volume of the Boracar Port, now only 22%.
