Good morning, or should I say NOT so good morning on the economic and political stage here in the United Socialist states of America.
So the question still begs as to exactly why the west coast ports have this much backlog and then also, why don't these freighters just bypass them and go to Texas Ports and Florida ports and be offloaded immediately?
When I was in business and shipping products I would not send things to places like Long Beach if what's happening there now was going on then. One avoids them. Yes, travel time to get to through the panama canal would take longer but would still be lots fastwer than sitting offshore twiddling one's thumbs or watching the country burn while Biden fiddles...
Governor Abbot made it clear that if they brought it to the port in Houston they would get the ships unloaded.
DeSantis would do the same thing. Heck, I imagine thee are other ports along the Gulf Coast, Mobile maybe?, that could also help.
It just appears to me that the whole mess with the offloading delays seems to be embraced by the shippers and companies that are awaiting the products on those ships or they would not put up with it.. There are some rotting fish leaving an obvious stench in the air....
