With the recent PMA lock out on the ILWU this weekend we provide a general overview of the current USWC Port Status from our partner.
Port of Los Angeles / Long Beach
- 20+ vessels anchored
- 7-14 day delay at berth over T/T ETA
- 5+ day delay at the terminal
- T/T is only a reference now
- Longer T/T implies carriers need to put more capacity/vessels to maintain weekly service
- Since more capacity and equipment is on water there is increased pressure on equipment shortage at terminals
Port of Oakland
- Carriers continue to drop calling Port of Oakland due to congestion
- 20+ day delay at berth over T/T ETA
- 7+ day delay at terminal
- MSK + CMA already announced all Oakland shipments will be terminated in LA/LB at the CNEEs’ expense
- Other carriers should be announcing the same soon
- Evergreen TPS / CPS still calls Oakland along with a few G6 strings
- Space very tight
Port of Seattle / Tacoma
- 24 day average delay for shipments
- Seattle / Tacoma is now the last call on PNW strings
- IPI shipments now switching to Canada
Port of Portland
- Hanjin announced Portland service termination and they were the only vessels calling Port of Portland
- Only option now is to Rail from Seattle / Tacoma using K Line, Cosco, Maersk, or CMA
