now we have been talking to people here in this port complex, in the, in long beach and los angeles, the biggest in the country about what's going on, what are the causes? we've also been talking. busy to, to the, the heads of companies that are waiting now to get their goods off the boats and on their way to consumers. and here's what we found. at least $100.00 giant cargo ships are floating in limbo off the southern california coast carrying billions of dollars worth of goods they can't unload. it's the most visible sign of today's global supply chain crisis. we have never seen the volume of containers were seen today. we are busier than ever. we are at full capacity. but the warehouses are also fully subscribed. the courts of the l. a and long beach are the largest in the us, and ling about 40 percent to one half of all imports, mostly from china. but due to coven era online spending sprees by american consumers staffing shortages and sheer lack of storage capacity compared to the volume of shipping, the ports are jammed even after ramping up to 247 operations. they're mccadney ef

what the end of the long beach will charge care is $100.00 per day for each container lingering. has given deadline starting november 1st, so containers move by trucks will have 9 days before start fine, start coming. and containers to move by rail will have 3 days. but the thing is, this really doesn't solve the problem because it's not like the shift or lingering there because they want to log in as partly due to the shortage of warehouse workers and truck drivers to pick up the good. and it's not like the companies want to have the shortage, they're literally doing everything they can to move things along. but when you have a shortage of workers and drivers, they spend little you can do so further adding a penalty on top 4 companies will further cut into the bottom line even worse for businesses. so already there are businesses that are paying extra for the extra time at the waiting to be unloaded. so friends of mine have accorded their transportation and landed goods caught pen acting as a result and the ship city idol at be unable to come in due to the jam. so now me find wi

we know that the 2 major ports where this backlog has happened are the ports of los angeles in long beach. now both of those ports have announced new find on cargo carriers. so what are the details on that? yeah, the vitamin ministration is hopeful that these new fines impose on the carriers here will ease these large and with cargo ships. the partial month end of the long beach will charge carriers $100.00 per day for each container lingering past the given deadline. starting november 1st, so containers move by trucks will have 9 days before start fine, start accruing and continuous. it'll move by rail will have 3 days. but the thing is, this really doesn't solve the problem because it's not like the ships are lingering there because they want to log in is partly due to the shortage of warehouse workers and truck drivers to pick up the goods and not like the companies want to have the shortage, they're literally doing everything they can to move things along. but when you have a shortage of workers and drivers, there's been little you can do so further. adding a penalty on top or compani

>> keep in mind, deal they cut at long beach was not a government rule.private sector thing that government negotiates,ed it did not start the ball rolling. if you were going to take a whole of government approach, you would do what trump administration did with vaccines with warp speed, to every single agency and say, what can you do to make things better, if you do that today with supply chain, you go to department of labor, say what about your work rules, what could we change temporarily to allow people to work more and department of transportation, they have ruled about long distance truckers, and what can we change now, and garc -- gsa saying do you have excess land we could use to store the cargo. and new and quicker routes, a state department thing to work on. people don't understand how heavily involved the government is in supply chain, until this biden administration starts to pay attention, private sector can to everything they want but it is not going to be enough. trey: mick, one many thing that i like about you, you don't scare easy, how wor

i can tell you for long beach, we've taken three major steps.irst is we started activating vacant land to provide immediate relief to terminals, move the boxes out of the terminals to create more capacity and space for those containers aboard the ships at anchor. secondly, we ex a pannedded hours of -- expanded hours of operations, terminals are open 24 hours a day, others are opening earlier and closing later and working on weekends. the third major action we took a couple weeks ago is we're using every tool at our disposal. we're incentivizing the fast removal of containers from our terminals. we're going to continue to work around the clock, get those ships to birth, get those boxes off the ship and make sure we get the products onto store shelves in time for holidays. todd: i'm amazed you find land in southern california to put these containers. i lived there for 12 years. wasn't a lot of land to put a contain r ship. before we let you go, obviously holiday season is upon us. if you watched any tv this weekend, you saw a lot of christmas com
