Crane Worldwide Logistics stated it is encouraging customers to integrate in 3 to 4 weeks of advance notification to demand vessel area.

“Congestion is constantly on the move based on the actions American importers seeking ways around the West Coast labor negotiations,” stated Peter Sand, primary expert atXeneta “This has resulted in the U.S. East Coast ports moving record-high imports and congesting facilities. While spot prices are down, they are still historically high. Long-term contract rates have soared, up 150% up year-on-year.”

The rise in containers comes at a critical time for the West Coast ports. Labor settlements in between the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union are apparently set to resume after a break.

“Import containers originating in China represent 29.6% of our total imports, which pales in comparison to the China market share in the combined Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where it is more than twice as much,” she stated. “If we are unable to reduce the amount of long-dwelling imports and empties in the next several weeks, the surge will be very difficult to handle.”

All East Coast ports are seeing a boost in vessels. Officials at the Port of Savannah informed CNBC they are seeing unscheduled vessels and preparing for historical volume this month.
