Southern California port congestions affect Port of Oakland
Southern California ports have been seeing congestion in the past months, and this is now also affecting other ports. Specifically, the Port of Oakland, located in the San Francisco Bay, has been seeing a decline in their cargo volume in January, as a result of the spreading supply chain congestion. Andrew Hwang, Manager of Business Development and International Marketing, Maritime Division for the Port of Oakland shares: “We won’t have the February figures until mid-March, but our sense is that once the logjam in Southern California begins to ease, then more ships will be released. As that happens, those vessels scheduled for Oakland will set sail for our seaport here in Northern California and boost the number of ships calling in Oakland.”
