We have a supply chain problem in this country, as illustrated by empty shelves and delayed products in every retail chain and small enterprise. Everything from electronic equipment, to appliances, to fresh dog food, is in limited or non-supply because of this.
While Governor Gavin Newsom preens, postures, and belches out brags on how the State is doing better than Texas and Florida, he is doing nothing to resolve the issue of ships at the Port of Los Angeles being unable to dock and unload billions of dollars in goods.
Tallahassee, FL’s WTVY reports:
The coronavirus pandemic has triggered a global supply chain problem. As of Sunday, an estimated 500,000 shipping containers

"The coronavirus pandemic has triggered a global supply chain problem"
More like the harebrained overreactions of government officials to the coronavirus pandemic has triggered a global supply chain problem.

The ships will have to go through the Panama Canal, which China controls, but hey, more of our money going to them won't really amount to much.
Great job, Gov. DeSantis, we all know Pres. Trump would have been on top of this situation as well. F Joe Biden and the camel he brought with him!

It's all set up like this on purpose. I head somewhere the goal is to have empty shelves by December. That equals no Christmas for many. We've pretty much gone along with this stuff so far, but we've never had food shortages in this country before. You stop allowing people to eat and feed their children - that's a whole other animal. Hungry people will not take this sitting down.

#2 This was China's first move against the United States...43 years ago (taking control of the Panama Canal).
Thank you Jimmy Carter

#1 -- As I've been saying for more than a year now, Covid is a respiratory disease, EVERYTHING else that has happened is a REACTION ( overreaction, as you say) to Covid.
#2 -- I took note that neither then-President Clinton nor any other high-ranking American representative showed up in Panama when the historic VOLUNTARY transfer of one of the world's most important man-made structures was passed from the world's most powerful nation to a Third World country. Now, one would think that such a thing would be recognized by President Clinton and heavily covered by the mainstream media. But it wasn't. Why? Because Democratic President Jimmy Carter made the STUPID agreement to hand it over and Clinton sat by watching it happen even though Panama had sold off commercial access to the canal to CHINESE interests. Naturally, Clinton and media leftists and lackeys didn't want to draw attention to what is borderline traitorous and incredibly stupid actions or lack thereof by Democrats Carter and Clinton.

Ship to Florida Ports. And there are lots of them. Biggest are Jax and Tampa Bay, but Port Everglades at Ft. Lauderdale is also a good one.

That’s a great offer and an outstanding business decision. However in order for the ship to get there at a reasonable cost they will need to go through the Panama Canal and I believe the issue with that is the size of the vessels. I know they have been working to increase the size of the locks but I’m not sure it’s completed

The US gave back the control to the country of Panama, not China

#8–Wrong kind of ports. You need large container facilities with deep (~50') draft, and the ability to unload directly from ship to heavy rail. That’s why the freight goes through Long Beach and New Jersey.
Boston has two such docking facilities, but no connection to the railroads (instead, freight travels by truck fifty miles inland to Worcester, and is then loaded onto rail cars). Very little freight passes through Boston Harbor, instead it goes to the facilities in New York and New Jersey, where, although NYC is a day's sailing farther from Europe, it can be directly forwarded by rail.
Cities and states love to subsidize the construction of container facilities (lots of good union jobs at good wages to built and operate them, not to mention patronage jobs “administering” the facilities), but lack the deep draft channels or heavy rail connections to make them truly useful.

The control of maintaining the problem gives the governor enough power that he doesn't want any solutions.

It isn't cheap to pass through the Canal. The larger ships can pass through the new locks...that's why they were built. And then what? If Florida ports are too shallow to allow unloading... If that's true, this is just more political showboating.

#2, no, they just sail west from the Asian ports, around the Horn and up to Florida. A bit farther but no problems. Besides, most of those ships are too big to fit through the Panama Canal.

#12. Port Everglades, Port Canaveral, Port of Miami and Port of Jax are rated for the new Panamax ship size limit, about 14,000 TEU.
Yes, there are a lot of container ships larger than Panamax.
Perhaps this is the problem, making too many oversized container ships for the number of ports that can accommodate them. An "efficient " 23,000 TEU ship sitting at anchor versus two 14,000 TEU Panamax ships quickly unloading and moving on? Perhaps this is the real story. I've not heard the sizes of the backed up ships at Long Beach.
I haven't looked into the rail situation in tgese Florida ports, though. Maybe that is the issue.
