Congestion at the U.S. West Coast ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach still remains s of last weekend, with a total of 28 containerships anchored in San Pedro Bay where the twin ports are located, according to Ocean Express Network Japan (ONE Japan). Actions are being taken to keep people from getting infected with novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which have caused a shortage of dockworkers and prolonged hours for cargo handling.
As there are not enough freight wagons available in railway services, imported cargoes bound for inland destinations are being piled up, ONE Japan said, adding that some have to wait unprocessed for more than three weeks at the ports.
