Cargo ship bottleneck off LA coast is STILL at all-time high - with nearly 100 ships waiting to berth - despite port officials claiming number had HALVED
|
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] - The number of ships docked off the California coast is still at an all-time high - contradicting claims from officials the number has dwindled in recent weeks
- On Tuesday, Port of Los Angeles Executive Director Gene Seroka announced there were 46 boats stationed off the shores of Long Beach and Los Angeles
- However, according to data provided by ship-tracking outfit MarineTraffic, there are currently 96 cargo ships docked near the two popular ports
- The inconsistency in the number of ships stems from a new policy recently employed by shipping trade groups
- The new policy encourages boats traversing the Pacific, often hailing from Asia, to sit 150 miles offshore as they wait to unload their precious cargo
- Some ships have been waiting to berth since October, amid the US' continuing supply chain crisis
- The policy, put into effect of November 16, encourages incoming vessels to wait out in the open ocean amid the traffic jams - rather than at the backed-up ports
