Biden Administration Claims of California Port Improvement Not Reflected in Port Operations for November

You might remember on October 13, 2021, Joe Biden delivered widely carried remarks about specific actions his administration was taking to increase operations at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach.

The October 13, 2021, White House fact sheet is HERE, "Announcing a series of public and private commitments to move more goods faster, and strengthen the resiliency of our supply chains, by moving towards 24/7 operations at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach." On November 17, 2021, the White House gave an update, "Recent Progress at Our Ports: Moving Cargo and Filling Shelves" and claiming the increased hours of operations were delivering on the White House expectations of increased productivity and offloading capacity.

The Port of Los Angeles data shows they handled 468,713 import containers in October, and 405,309 in November.

The Port of Los Angeles is the largest port of the two.

There is a disconnect between what the White House, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg are saying, and the actual results of what is taking place at the Port of Long Beach and Port of Los Angeles.

Perhaps the administration did not expect anyone to check when they claimed on November 29th:. "The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach-which handle 40 percent of the country's containerized imports-continue to show improvement in moving containers out of the docks and into warehouses."

Both the Port of Los Angeles and Port of Long Beach handled less cargo in the first full month of the "New expanded operations" than they did in the previous month when the expanded operations were announced.
