North America - Operational Status

Los Angeles / Long Beach

Terminals:
There are currently 13 ships at anchor awaiting berths in LAX/LGB as of Friday, November 20th. All terminals are congested due to the spike in import volumes.

Rail:
Shortage of railcars initially affected the inland transportation transit time to all main inland ramps. This situation has since then improved at the terminals but they are still congested and the on-dock rail performance is still not optimal forcing many units to be trucked to/from the off dock rail ramp and the terminals. The off-dock ramp (ICTF for UP) is heavily congested. We are currently working with the UP & our house truckers to move these boxes to the terminals as soon as possible in order to load the cargo.

Truckers:
High demand has affected overall trucker availability and the industry facing overall trucker shortage (especially for DG & Overweight units).

Chassis:
Stressed chassis inventory in most terminal locations

New York Terminal Update:

NY terminals continue to struggle with higher import volumes, high empty inventories, and increased dwell times.
Expect gate congestion at end of week 48 due to closures for Thanksgiving holiday on 11/26. Terminals have been extending gate / terminal hours when necessary to accommodate import deliveries. Other factors still impacting operations are driver shortages, customer warehouse congestion, and low chassis inventories. All terminals dealing with some degree of berth congestion / delays due to reinstatement by all alliances of previous voided sailings, and vessels continually being off schedule upon arrival.

Chassis Pools:

  • Oakland, CA – Constrained on 40’ with some units grounded at ramp and high volume of wheeled units at Trapac terminal. 
  • Salt Lake City, UT – Currently no pending issues, but the pool is stressed and more grounding of units may happen next week. 
  • Minneapolis / St. Paul, MN – Deficit on 40’ chassis, longer dwells on street. 
  • New York – Constrained on 40’ chassis due to volumes.
