Supersizing the Port of Long Beach

Posted on May 16, 2015 by | 1 comment

A great article on John Slangerup, the new head of the Port of Long Beach, CA, and the efforts to fit the port in better with supply chain realities.  An important feature: his outreach effort across the country to let people know the port will address supply chain issues for the end user of the cargoes.  That’s a big step forward, and it’s needed at all our ports.

Shipbrokers expect rush of 18,000-TEU orders

Since P3 route costs will drop, other loops afre rushing to catch up by building 14,000 and 18,000 TEU ships.  These won’t go through the Panama Canal, so I bet it’s back to the LA/LB port scenario.
