The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are on the frontlines of the shipping crisis. Container ships sit anchored on the coast, with some waiting since late August to dock.
A shift to 24/7 operations at the port also means that more appointments are available. But the ports can't just stack up the containers until a driver comes to pick them up: "There's no space," Rice said.Truck drivers that manage to get containers out of Long Beach are also facing issues getting them back to the port. "Right now, another big issue that they're going through is, they are not taking a ton of empties back," Rice said.
The Marine Exchange has been tracking the backlog since it started in September 2020, when the number of ships at anchor started climbing to a 2020 high near 40. From February 2021, the number of ships at anchor began to decline but picked back up again in June as more companies sent ships in advance of the holiday season.
