The congestion at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is expected to worsen over the next two weeks due to an increased level of imports. The increase is expected to impact productivity, intensify chassis, and stretch drayage capacity. US imports from Asia moving through LA-LB increased 22 percent in both September and August from the same months last year. The ports handled 828,880 TEU in September after 832,210 TEU in August.
