Store forsinkelser i amerikanske havne

De amerikanske vestkysthavne Los Angeles og Long Beach er hårdt ramt af forsinkelser. Det skyldes blandt andet en strid med havnearbejderne om lønnen, og desuden er der problemer med at håndtere de nye store containerskibe i Triple E-klassen.

”Det er ikke kun en eller to grunde. Det handler om seks eller syv helt urelaterede grunde, hvilket gør det så meget mere vanskeligt at løse”, siger Neil Davidson, havneanalytiker hos Drewry Shipping Consultants, om årsagen til de store forsinkelser.

Problemerne med at håndtere de store containerskibe har ført til, at der i et godt stykke tid har været køer af skibe, der har ligget for anker i San Pedro Bay og ventet på at få plads i havnen. Det skaber både problemer for detailhandelen i USA, der mangler varer, men også både landbrug og industri er ramt.

For to år siden var der også store problemer, da havnene var ramt af en storstrejke, og det kom til at koste APM Terminals store summer.

Los Angeles er i dag den 18.-største containerhavn i verden, mens Long Beach er nr. 20, men selvom det er store containerhavne, består begge havne hver især af flere mindre containerterminaler, som ikke har kapacitet til at håndtere de store containerskibe.
