A Year of Recovery’ Begins at the Port of Long Beach
An unprecedented pandemic bringing society to a halt. Nosediving cargo container traffic. And then, a resurgence. The story of 2020 was one of doom and gloom giving way to fast and furious. Through it all, the Port of Long Beach, marine terminals, the waterfront workforce and the entire supply chain remained on duty to move goods vital to the American economy while wide swaths of the population sheltered at home.
Because of the collaborative steps taken by supply chain stakeholders to keep the docks operating safely, the Port stands ready to play a major part in an economic renewal in the latter part this year.Integral to that recovery is the timely vaccination of waterfront workers who continue to leave their homes to move the goods their fellow Americans are using as they isolate to protect themselves from COVID-19.
WAVE Report Debuts for Port Stakeholders
The Port of Long Beach has launched a new online dashboard called the WAVE (Weekly Advance Volume Estimate) report to shine a spotlight on anticipated cargo flow and widely share key data with every link in the supply chain.
WAVE provides goods movement stakeholders like trucking companies and chassis providers with forward-looking data they need to better cope with surging cargo volume and other challenges.
Updated each Monday, the weekly report projects cargo container volume and vessel calls several weeks ahead, and includes estimates of categories of cargo, such as export, import, empty, etc.
