The Los Angeles and Long Beach terminals are currently experiencing an increase in congestion which is expected to
continue until mid-January.
The terminal congestion experienced over the last month due to influx of containers ahead of the increased tariff from
China and chassis shortages has been exacerbated as a result of the recent New Year holiday labor shortages.
The combination of these factors have severely impacted the terminal operations, causing heavy congestion which
could result in delays and additional fees. We are working with the carriers to mitigate any impact as much as possible.
