Home About Us Services Shipping Tools Request a Quote Contact Blog Shipping Delays on the West Coast September 20, 2021/in Shipping News /by Joseph Cuccurullo To all our business partners and friends Please note that the supply chain- as most know- is extremely poor at the moment. Trucks- containers and chassis are in short supply and most all ships are off schedule due to USA ports congestion. There are now 45 ships stacked up and waiting to berth in Los Angeles- Long Beach with an average of 3+ weeks waiting time !!! We are doing all possible to mitigate delays and we encourage all to book cargo well in advance so we may make proper and timely arrangements. We are also thinking “outside the box” and are arranging cargo pick up in domestic trailers- bringing to the closest USA port of loading and transloading into containers. This does add cost to the move, however, it allows us to move cargo much more timely. Thank you for your continued cooperation as this is much appreciated.
