It is reported that Los Angeles and Long Beach ports are discussing a new program with major container shipping companies to motivate carriers to load more containers than unloading, thus cleaning up empty clubs on the crowded dock without affecting the export of container goods.



Port, shipping companies and terminal operators are working with the Biden government to promote this plan. During the surge in shipments of 18 months, the congestion of Los Angeles and Long Beach has reached a historical level.



If this so-called ultra match plan is passed, it will replace Los Angeles Port, which is proposed to levy the long-term retention container for long-term retention. GENE SEROKA, Executive Director, Los Angeles, said at the Los Angeles Port Committee on January 13 that port staff will consult with stakeholders to obtain further opinions and then decide whether to submit the proposal to the board.

NOID HACEGABA, deputy director and Chief Operation Officer, deputy director, said that there are approximately 120,000 empty containers in 12 piers. Since the port is announced in October, it has decreased the number of outlet containers in the port of the port in October, and the empty container is now the main reason for the congestion of Long Beach and Los Angeles. The port is successfully removed for a long-term retention container, and it has repeatedly postponed too high retention.



"The number of immigration containers retained 9 days or longer will fall by 60%, now account for 10% of the terminal container stock. We hope to transfer attention to empty containers on this basis, these empty The container currently accounts for 47% of all containers in the Long Beach Termat. This number is approximately twice the level of the epidemic. "Hacegaba said.



HACEGABA said that the super-matching plan will incentive the shipping company relative to the immigration containers, transport more outbound containers per month, and needs to be done in a minimal destructive manner. The details of the incentive program are developing with the port stakeholders.

The Working Group has been determined that the scheme that arranges a ship must extract how many outbound containers cannot be applied to the docking of each ship. Many ships have been loaded with imported goods when they enter the port, so from mathematics, it is impossible to load 100% of their capacity. HACEGABA said that the program will be based on the total amount of containers of each carrier, rather than in each terminal. Under its ship sharing alliance, the carrier is parked in the port of Los Angeles and Long Beach.



HACEGABA said that it is equally important that ports must be noted that do not allow carriers to mix towards empty boxes rather than full load containers. In the past year, US exporters have always expressed concern that the carrier may refuse the export items of relatively low pay, turn the empty container back to Asia to re-filled more high-paying import consumer goods.



Although since the fall of last year, crossing the Pacific Shipping Company has deployed multiple single channel cleaning boats in Los Angeles, specializing in empty containers back to Asia, but empty containers continue to occupy the hull of the terminal. Alan McCorkle, president of Los Angeles YUSEN TERMINALS, said that the cleaning ship is affecting, and now there is a lot of mobility in the port.



McCorkle added, in recent months, some new services that have never deployed shipping companies that have been operating across the Pacific Ocean are receiving empty boxes of other shipping companies, which have excess empty boxes. "They sell empty containers to other ship companies that are stopped here so they can make space." McCorkle said.
