Los Angeles-Long Beach ports will begin to issue fines if shipping companies allow backlogged cargo
The Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex will begin fining shipping companies if they let cargo containers stack up as the nation’s busiest twin harbours deal with an unprecedented backlog of vessels.
As of Friday, there were 153 ships at anchor, berthed or “loitering” – cruising while awaiting dock space – and more than 100 of those were container ships, according to the Marine Exchange of Southern California, which monitors port vessel traffic. The logjam of ships has interrupted the global supply chain and prompted the Biden administration to allow the port complex to operate 24 hours a day to try to get goods unloaded and out to consumers as the Black Friday and Christmas holiday season approaches.
The penalties won’t take effect until Nov. 15 at the earliest, however, depending on whether daily snapshots of the situation show progress in clearing the docks.
