Thanks so much for that bit, eldoradude. It is bigger than we imagine..... and because of the port situation, fits in with the “Watch the Water” admonition by Q.
The reading I did on Pel Pro is that it reaches world wide. So ports all over the world are potentially/likely affected.
LucyT reminded me of who owns the Port of Long Beach - China.
A Chinese company may take over the current owner of the biggest U.S. container port in Long Beach, despite President Donald Trump’s threat to slap a 25 percent tariff on $50 billion worth of China’s tech exports.
China’s state-owned COSCO conglomerate is within days of closing its $6.3 billion take-over of Hong Kong-based Orient Overseas Container Lines (OOCL), which owns America’s biggest container ship cargo processing operation in Long Beach, California.
The OOCL paid $4.6 billion to sign a 40-year lease with the Port of Long Beach to develop the Middle Harbor property, which tripled the size of the port’s container capability. The Long Beach container port handles one-fifth of all U.S. container activity. With over 2,000 vessel calls in 2017, OOCL processed 6.8 million 20-foot cargo container units containing $180 billion in goods.
This is just insane.
