The ships NEED to head to Florida DeSantis said they are ready to receive them the damn ships could have been in Florida by now with all the time they have spent in limbo off the shore of CA. The shipping companies need to give CA. the middle finger and set up shop in Florida!!!
But Brandon ordered the ports to work 24 X 7.
I hear that’s not working, and he’s going to expand his mandate to 48 X 14.
For ships leaving the east now, they same applies for Suez/Africa.
Don't get me wrong, I like what DeSantis is doing but it seems that there are logistical challenges to overcome...
Florida doesn’t have deep water ports for the container ships sitting out there. Tampa Bay isn’t dredged deep enough for the massive TEU-laden ships in southern California. We can take some of the smaller boats, but even Savanna, one of the larger southeast ports, is overwhelmed due to lack of truckers.
This isn’t a regional problem, it’s a global stop stick.
SOME of the larger ships CANNOT get thru the Panama Canal.
