China is imposing quarantines of up to 7 weeks for cargo ship crew, and it's bad news for the supply chain

businessinsider.com/shipping-suppl… via @businessinsider
One of the most under reported stories is the attempt by China to grow their influence in the shipping industry for their seafarers. Since many ships call at China, this new restriction makes employing Chinese nationals more challenging.

China’s Covid Zero Policy Towards Seafarers Escalates Supply Chain Crisis

"China’s increasingly extreme Covid Zero policies are standing in the way of a full recovery for the shipping industry and prolonging a crisis that’s snarled ports."

1/Peak season over: Container-ship arrivals in Southern California fall

I am a always a big follower of @GMJournalist @FreightWaves, but this article does not lead me to think that peak season is over just yet.

freightwaves.com/?p=376003 via @FreightWaves
2/One of the points made is that imports have returned to 2018 and below 2020 levels.

However, I think this may be more of an indicator that the ports are slowing down their offloads as they are trying to clear out the terminals; as indicated by the dwell report. Image
3/@PortofLA & @portoflongbeach is reporting ship arrivals as down; but there are new ships holding out past 150 miles.

For example, CMA CGM Topaz is 350 miles off coast and STOPPED; showing a destination of LA for today. Yet, in the SIGNAL Port Optimizer, she is not listed. ImageImageImageImage

1/Improving and Tracking Supply Chains Link by Link

To rectify the #supplychain
situation, it appears that @POTUS
approach is to start a blog (I am sure a podcast is soon to follow) that links to three metrics.

whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
2/Rising Tides

The first aims to discuss the changing nature of American spending - service vs goods - and compares it to the Recession of 2008. If they compare to the Great Depression of 1929, it would look even better.
3/Ships at Anchor

This is the metric that they want to fix because it is one that is visual. But it also at the wrong end of the supply chain to fix. The issue is on the inland distribution side, as demonstrated by the pile up of boxes in the terminals and afloat = throughput.

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...
