Different businesses see different outcomes with the West Coast Port situation...hopefully the new agreement will be ratified at the end of March. One of my clients has a container due in to Oakland on the 29th...I am looking forward to seeing everything getting back on track! Another client was thinking about bringing a container in through Houston, increasing the costs tremendously, and increasing the risks of temperature damage. I understand some of the businesses that were hardest hit were California nut and citrus producers who lost full containers of product during the slow-downs. I am hoping for the best with the progress at the ports, as the California economy is large and strong enough to support the importers, the farmers, and the Port workers.
