The combined decline in aging cargo in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has reached 47%, another increase from the previously reported numbers, so the ports decided to further postpone the implementation of their Excessive Container Dwell Fee until 12/20/21.

The ports will continue to monitor the progress in removing the lonest-dwelling containers from the port terminals and decide on the future of the fee based on that.

It should be noted that the removal of this “old” cargo does not make the ports emptier as new cargo arrives every day, it helps to not congest the ports even more as they already are.

Long-term relief will only come when less cargo arrives in the ports as is removed, when that point arrives is mainly driven by the demand for goods in the US and the need to restock inventories.12/07/2021
