Are the Gulf Coast ports about to get incredibly busy?


No.

Cali typically handles more goods from APAC. To get the Gulf Coast ports you’re going through Panama adding weeks to the transit.

Air Freight is likely to see an uptick

not to mention that the new locks are basically useless right now because they’ve had to reduce the draft to 44 feet because Gatun Lake is low. Sure they can still fit longer and wider ships but they can only be partially loaded.

BFD. it takes 4 weeks for our ships from Shanghai to get to Charleston, and the wait to get through customs and unloaded to our warehouse is anywhere from 1-7 days.
What good is it to send it to San Francisco and it take 1 week to get to the port, but the cargo waits another 3-4 weeks to get through the port/customs?
