Works in theory! Practice? That's something else
A lot of those ships probably can't make it through the Panama canal though.They should send those ships over to Florida. They're open for business. Lots of big ports.

I am sure the shipping companies are already using any route if economical and physically possible.....what's this carbon footprint you talking about??Yeah, that’s a great idea. lets raise the carbon footprint of products sent to the west coast for a reason (economics/shortest route),

I don't know if there is less carbon footprint for a product traveling by ship to LA-Long Beach then by truck or rail to Midwest or East Coast or by ship to Gulf then truck or rail to final destination. Last I heard the time was quicker via the former.google it
Don’t forget idling for two weeks to get into port.I don't know if there is less carbon footprint for a product traveling by ship to LA-Long Beach then by truck or rail to Midwest or East Coast or by ship to Gulf then truck or rail to final destination.

I did not forget that, It is a complicated risk management decision for the owners of vessels. For those that have vessels that can fit through the new and improved Panama canal they have an interesting choice of options, Time is the big factor in terms of capital cost of the vessel. Then operating cost of a longer journey versus faster turnaround with risk of delays unloading,Don’t forget idling for two weeks to get into port.
Some can. Maybe stop being lazy to have LA port sorting where stuff goes but to load east coast containers on a panama ship and send to the gulf. Takes a few years to make this sort of change.?Cant fit through Panama canal
I would guess that is a factor.Takes a few years to make this sort of change.
It’s not so simple. Florida does not have the vast amount of cranes and unloading systems that Ca has. Also the rail services are not geared up for that kind of traffic. They would need to spend billions on upgrading the ports. Also the extra fuel used to get to and from Fl via the canal is not cheap, it Is going to come out of our pockets in increased fees.Some can.

ever been to port everglades ?It’s not so simple. Florida does not have the vast amount of cranes and unloading systems that Ca has. Also the rail services are not geared up for that kind of traffic.

At this point it has kind of been conclusively proven that it is the truck and rail systems that are holding up things. The story has changed so many times that it’s not funny.ever been to port everglades ?
if they could handle just 20% the pressure from la would be gone, and thing would return to normal pretty fast
That’s just it. FloriDuh doesn’t have the rail, trucking, and warehouse infrastructure to take 20%.ever been to port everglades ?

Why did this suddenly start this year ?Oh wait, Newsflash: CA IS open, and has 6th largest economy in the world last I heard…
I’ve seen numerous articles indicating US Buying/consumption is up 25% from 2020, and there’s a nationwide truck driver and employee shortage… among other things.
