NEWS: California ports piling up again: Too many containers sitting too long
At the height of last yearโs โwill Christmas be cancelled?โ supply chain freak-out, the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach โ with the Biden administrationโs backing โ proposed a highly controversial fee on import containers that sat too long in terminal yards.
The mere threat of this fee, announced on Oct. 25 for implementation Nov. 15, seemed to initially chase more boxes out the gates, as designed. Every week since then, like clockwork, the ports have cited progress and announced that the fee enforcement would be postponed until the following week.
Now, the container dwell numbers are getting worse and becoming increasingly hard to sugar coat.
Could that proposed fee โ $100 a day for each container dwelling too long, compounding an additional $100 per day thereafter โ ever actually be charged?
The two ports said last Friday that the fee would be delayed again due to a combined 31% drop in aging containers since late October. But if you run the numbers with a different start date youโll get a very different picture.
The combined number of import containers at both ports dwelling for nine days or more has more than doubled since early February, to 48,932 as of Wednesday.This is almost exactly the number of containers dwelling on Los Angeles and Long Beach on Nov. 15 (48,905), back on the day the fee plan was originally to be implemented.
