I’ve been wondering if the supposed backlog is due to some extra special attention being given to some ships already in port, keeping them there longer than usual.
Trafficking busts, contraband, ???
Dunno. Just thinking out loud.
keep an eye on this...the #1 container port...started doin 24/7 operation

it’s already ahead of last year in handling.
click on the 2021 calendar year link in the tables - notice the huge + % change vs. prior year...
click on the fiscal year (july1-june30) note increase vs 2019-2020
Some whispers were that this backup is almost normal for this time of year. I wonder what is really up.
