US EditionZero ships from China are bound for California’s top ports. Officials haven’t seen that since the pandemic
- Officials at West Coast ports reported that, for the first time since the pandemic, no cargo ships had departed China en route to California’s primary ports within the previous 12 hours.
- This decline follows recent tariff increases imposed last month during the US-China trade tensions, which led to fewer ships sailing and less cargo being transported to US ports.
- Major ports including Long Beach and Los Angeles have experienced cargo volume drops between 31% and 40%, while the Ports of Seattle and New York also report significant slowdowns.
- Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero cautioned that if the current situation does not improve soon, consumers could face shortages and bare shelves within the next month.
- Trade officials from the United States and China plan to hold their initial in-person discussions in Geneva this weekend, aiming to ease tensions and avoid additional disruptions to commerce and consumer costs.
