The News
New York/New Jersey: Import volumes are decreasing this week, which should help clear out some of the empty containers that have been piling up.
Seattle: Import volumes have been notably light, leading to immediate pressures on drayage capacity in the area.
Savannah: The port continues to experience strong cargo flow and long lines in certain terminal areas. However, the situation is being managed effectively.
Miami: A surge of imports is expected next week, so keep an eye on any developments in the area.
Houston: The port remains strong, but it’s crucial to be aware of which terminals you’re dealing with. City Docks operates differently from Bayport and Barbour’s Cut.
Los Angeles/Long Beach (LA/LGB): Both ports are showing significant increases in volumes. Additionally, Oakland is dealing with disruptions related to the AB5 situation, with protests planned in Long Beach from Monday through Wednesday next week. We’ll continue to monitor the situation in California.
Looking ahead, the second half of the year will be influenced by AB5, union negotiations with ILWU, and the new CARB law starting in January.
