(In 2020 it won a new container shipping contract with a small South Korean freight carrier.)ДЇor now, only a small number of ports risk exiting the container business entirely because of supersized ships. One ominous sign arrived in 2015, when the Port of Portland, Oregon, lost all of its container shipping contracts, in part because its channel was too shallow to accept the new generation of large ships. In the US, Long Beach and Los Angeles-which together accounted for almost a third of all US imports last year-вЂњare almost singular points of failure at this point.вЂќ вЂњThe downside to having one large import location for your country or region is that youвЂ™re reducing the points of failure that you can handle,вЂќ said Erik Oak, a supply chain research analyst at S&P Global. As the first supply chain crunch unfolded, the top three ports grew even more. Last year, the pandemic accelerated those trends. In 1991, according to the American Association of Port Authorities, the top three ports-Long Beach, Los Angeles, and New York/New Jersey-accounted for roughly a third of US container traffic. ThatвЂ™s because of how much US shipping has come to depend on its few major ports.

While smaller ports up and down the West Coast have received an influx of phone calls from ocean freight companies hoping to find new ports of entry, few carriers are actually making the switch. Shortages of tires and toys, announcements from brands like Hasbro that they have $100 million in unfilled orders, even the increasing costs of some consumer goods-all can be traced, in part, to the traffic jam at major ports.Д«ut abandoning Los Angeles and Long Beach isnвЂ™t so simple. The wait times outside Los Angeles are directly impacting whatвЂ™s available on store shelves in the US. In theory, big freight companies should be eager to try out these contingency plans. вЂњTexas ports are wide open.вЂќ The Port of Oakland put out a press release in October insisting that вЂњits marine terminals are congestion-freeвЂќ and that it was вЂњready for more business,вЂќ and the Port of Jacksonville is offering cost savings and reminding companies that it is within a one-day drive вЂњof nearly 100 million consumers.вЂќ вЂњAre your products stuck off Long Beach?вЂќ asks a cheery ad that Abbott posted. Last month, Texas governor Greg Abbott took to Twitter to debut an вЂњEscape CaliforniaвЂќ campaign aimed at large ocean freight companies. As the delays stretch on for weeks, the countryвЂ™s midsized ports are racing to remind any impatient boats that LA isnвЂ™t the only game in town. Pig: That concludes the interview.Right now, around 57 container ships are lingering outside the Port of Los Angeles-the largest port in the US-desperate to unload their cargo and move on.
