Port of LA Congestion

An usually large group of container ships and oil tankers wait to enter the Port of Los Angeles in October of this year. Supply chain issues were present throughout most of 2021, largely due to a shortage of workers to keep goods moving. However, shipping delays became even worse in the last few months of the year as many retailers rushed to restock inventory before the holiday shopping season. Bottlenecks like this one at the Port of LA led to subsequent congestion at the ports of Savannah and New York / New Jersey.
