I wonder if shipping companies with ships coming from Asia discovered that shipping to the US east coast is just as fuel efficient as shipping to the US west coast despite being slightly shorter in travel distance due to not having to travel against the trade winds.
Takes a hell of a lot longer to get from Asia to the East Coast due to having to go through the Panama Canal, through the Caribbean, then up the East Coast
