DOUBTS * USA - Town Hall: Is L.A.-Long Beach Driving Cargo To Other Ports?
An industry panel gave a pessimistic view of the future for Southern California ports
Los Angeles,CAL,USA -The Cunningham Report -14 March 2009: -- An industry panel of folks representing shippers, shipping lines, terminal operators, railroads and trucking at the Center for International Trade and Transportation Town Hall meeting in Long Beach last week gave a pessimistic view of the future for Southern California ports... Dan Meylor of Carmichael International Service noted the various fees involved in moving cargo through Southern California and said that unless the cargo has to come through Southern California, shippers would increasingly rather send it someplace else, he said... David Arsenault of Hyundai Merchant Marine said that his company is seeing a shift of cargo from Southern California to the Port of Seattle and Port of Tacoma. Alan McCorkle of APM Terminals agreed that a significant piece of Southern California volume is moving to the Pacific Northwest and added that there is already cargo that had been going through Southern California and the Pacific Northwest that is now going through Prince Rupert, he said... Patty Senecal of the International Warehouse Logistics Association noted the barrage of regulatory measures being piled on California companies and said that the policy makers need to slow the process and "take the time to get it right"...
