Terminals on the East & West Coast are experiencing huge congestions and delays which is impacting the logistics chain around the country.
West Coast ports, like Oakland, Los Angeles and Long Beach, are facing vessel’s backlog resulting in berthing delays that can last weeks. Such delays also affect the rails like Salt Lake City and El Paso, due to container’s volume increase transportation capacity is reaching its limit and affecting the schedules.
East Coast ports, like New York, Charleston and Savannah, are facing very similar issues due the high volume of cargo and lack of proper infrastructure to handle the demand increase.
Terminal Rails like Chicago, Kansas City, Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Detroit are equally critical, experiencing long delays and having cargoes rolled between sea and rail service which is aggravating the national logistic crisis.
