Congestion at the Ports: Nov. 3 Hearing to Address Shipping Crisis

Congestion at the Ports:
Nov. 3 Hearing to Address Shipping Crisis

The Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles play a major role in the global supply chain and are crucial to the health of the American economy. At any given time, dozens of massive container ships sit in San Pedro Bay, but now they have been inundated with imports resulting in long wait times for ships to unload at the ports.

Did you know:

Delays may impact your holiday shopping and how much you pay?
Approximately 40 percent of all goods arriving in the U.S. come through these two ports?
A shortage of trucks is contributing to the supply chain strain?
California farmers are struggling to export their goods?
Experts predict the shipping surge will last into 2022?

As Chairman of the Assembly Select Committee on Ports and Goods Movement, I will be holding a joint informational hearing with the State Senate in the State Capitol to examine the issues facing our supply chains and identify solutions to the shipping crisis.

Wednesday, November 3
9:30 a.m.

State Capitol
Watch the hearing live on November 3

I hope you can join me.

Sincerely,
