1/Okay, I am tired of @DOTMARAD & @FMC_gov saying they have no power.
First, get the @PortofLA & @portoflongbeach off the stage and let's see and hear from the ocean carriers and terminal operators; & not the @WSC_shipping
Why, are they not on this import/export task force?

2/The issue regarding empties is out of control. How is it the terminals are full of them, but American exporters cannot find a box.
The carriers are awash in profits & ships are sitting off the coast. Identify the # of empties in each terminal...

3/What we will find is that the terminals have a terrible visibility of these boxes.
Once we get an estimate, require carriers to dispatch sweepers to take them out.
Now I can hear people shouting, you cannot force foreign companies to do this, which is nearly all of them...

4/Then use the one leverage the government and ports have over the carriers.
If they don't schedule their removal, refuse the carrier ships entrance into US waters or don't allow pilots to escort their ships to berth. This is impacting US economy, hence security...

5/The carriers - Maersk, ONE, and many others - are recording record profits, while at the same time providing the least reliable service in their history. There is NO DISENCENTIVE for them to change their current business model. They like drifting, going to one port & profits...
6/We don't need another study to determine if the @PortofLA & @portoflongbeach hyper-demurrage is excessive...IT IS!
@DOTMARAD, @FMC_gov @USDOT @CommerceGov need to demonstrate some leadership over an issue that impacts the whole nation and not let ports run US policy.

"Under Port of LA and LB "Container Excess Dwell Fee" plan, a container lingering 100 days past the grace period will be charged $505,000!!!"
The definition of EXCESSIVE!
For those wondering, there is no max limit or the charge set by LA/LB.
