Container ships still waiting

Container Ship Crisis Underscores Critical Supply Chain Challenges

 

76 container ships sitting off the west coast waiting to dock at LA and Long Beach. The ships have been in this log jam for approaching 3 months.

 

The average container ship has about 14,000 containers

 

The average value of merchandise on each container is $100,000

 

That is a total of $106,400,000,000 of inventory just sitting in limbo, sometimes expiring, often devaluing.

 

And itโ€™s not just the west coast that is affected. There are similar problems up and down the east coast off New York and Georgia.
