The Port of Long Beach has registered its second-highest September on record, demonstrating the need for extended working hours within the supply chain as unprecedented numbers of vessels wait off the US West Coast to unload cargo.
“We are having capacity issues due to the unprecedented number of containers waiting to move off the terminals, while warehouses have little to no room to accommodate this ongoing spike in cargo moving through our port,” explained Mario Cordero, Executive Director of the Port of Long Beach.
In the previous month, the Californian port moved a total container volume of 748,472TEU, representing a decline of almost 6% from the port’s strongest September on record, achieved in 2020.
