Daily Mail published this video item, entitled “Aerial views shows backlog of container ships near LA port” – below is their description.
The port complex of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which moves 40 percent of containers in the US currently has 62 cargo ships waiting to enter the port. The backup was brought on by a combination of it being peak shipping period and a pandemic-induced buying boom and labor shortage. The ports serve as the entry point for a third of imports to the US, and are the main import point for goods coming from China. The west coast ports have faced traffic since August, when a then record-breaking 44 container ships were stuck off the coast due to similar disruptions.
