California ships still piling up — but out of sight, over horizon
All-time-high 93 ships waiting
The waiting container ships are still out there — more of them than ever.
It’s just that more are over the horizon, where you can’t see them.
“The overall flow of container ships and big-picture backup has not changed,” acknowledged Marine Exchange of Southern California Executive Director Kip Louttit.
If you include all of the container ships physically at anchor on Tuesday off LA/LB, plus the ships in holding patterns within 40 miles of the ports plus all the ships waiting further afield that are in the queue, then 93 container vessels are waiting for berths at Los Angeles/Long Beach, a new all-time high.
A new "queuing system" was designed to sharply reduce the number of container vessels waiting just offshore of Los Angeles/Long Beach, with the stated goal of "cutting harmful emissions" and "enhancing safety during the winter months" by spacing out the ships.
A more cynical view has emerged: that an unstated goal is to erase a politically nettlesome photo op — attention-grabbing imagery of idle container ships stretching off into the distance.
REMEMBER WHEN SLEEPY JOE SAID HE'D SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

DEMOCRATS Try To Hide Worsening Congestion At California Ports
Joe Biden, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, and other DEMOCRATS are hiding, not fixing, congestion at California’s ports. This is another example of Democrats placing their image ahead of the public’s well-being. Meanwhile, the problem is worsening.
At recent press conferences, Biden and California officials bragged about a 37 percent drop in the number of containers stacked more than eight days on land at Los Angeles and Long Beach; a 20 percent reduction in the number of container ships spending more than nine days at the docks; and a more than 40 percent drop in the number of ships waiting within 40 miles of both ports.
Thus, they proclaim, “Our solutions are working.” Each boast is a half-truth. The whole truth is: The container pile-up has moved elsewhere and increased. Ships wait longer to berth. The ship queue has moved farther offshore.
The pileup has moved offshore and to temporary storage sites on land. Private companies set up temporary sites in recent weeks. Containers shuttled there are omitted from the ports’ official count of landed containers waiting to be hauled across the United States.
Even more containers wait offshore. They sit on a Los Angeles and Long Beach ship queue that increased 30 percent between late October and early December. Late October was when authorities announced they would fine companies for containers lingering too long on land. A queued vessel is defined as waiting to tie up to a dock.
Thirty percent more waiting vessels equates to about 150,000 more 20-foot containers floating offshore. That 150,000 is several times the contemporaneous decrease in containers stacked on land.
Pouring salt into the wound, the 150,000 additional floating containers wait longer, as do all other floating containers. Wait times more than doubled between mid-October and early December, from about 11 days towards 24 days.
