THE containership backlog at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has petered out after more than two years, bringing an end to one of the most recognisable features of the pandemic-era supply chain crises.<\/p>\n

No vessels were backed up at the San Pedro Bay ports on November 21 for the first day since October 2020, according to Kip Louttit, executive director of the Southern California Marine Exchange.<\/p>\n

The backlog reached 42 ships in February 2021 before dropping to nine in June 2021 and then peaking in January this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter 25 months, and with concurrence of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the Pacific Maritime Association, and the Pacific Merchant Shipping Association, the container ship backup for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach has ended,\u201d said Mr Louttit.<\/p>\n

The ports have enough labour to handle current volumes and ocean carriers are sometimes delaying vessel arrivals to optimise their operations. It is therefore \u201ctime to move into a different phase of operations and declare that the backup has ended,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The boxship backlog reached a high of 109 vessels this January, removing fleet capacity and sending freight rates skyrocketing in the process, while also causing long delays in deliveries of goods to consumers.<\/p>\n

The mounting congestion and protracted labour negotiations between west coast dockworkers and their employers led many shippers to divert their cargo to east and gulf coast ports, shifting much of the backlogs to their anchorages and terminals instead.<\/p>\n

As US import volumes slow, those backlogs are also easing, but are still far from resolved.<\/p>\n

The ports of Virginia, Savannah, and Houston had a combined total of 40 containerships at anchor on Tuesday night, Lloyd\u2019s List Intelligence data show, of which 27 were in Savannah.<\/p>\n
