Long Beach: Bigger ships and poor chassis accessibility cause congestion
THE Long Beach Harbour Department, having formed a "congestion relief team" see two main causes of current congestion problems - bigger ships dumping masses of cargo at once and a lack of chassis to get it off the docks.
"There is a chassis imbalance," said Long Beach port chief operating officer Noel Hacegaba. "This is a big part of the congestion issue."
A surge of larger ships has taxed terminals, reported the American Journal of Transportation, a reflection of problems around the world of big ships unloading cargo without adequate takeaway facilities.
Long Beach is also seeking talks with the Federal Maritime Commission to hold talks about congestion with the Port of Los Angeles with which it share San Pedro Bay.
