We Are Drowning in Empty Containers - Ports of Los Angeles & Long Beach and How Lego Has The Answer

On this episode of What's Going on With Shipping, host Sal Mercogliano - Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice, and Political Science, former merchant mariner, and instructor of Maritime History, Security and Industry Policy - highlights the issue raised by Matt Schrap, the Chief Executive Officer of the Harbor Trucking Association in a Bloomberg interview, on the major issue facing the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach - EMPTY CONTAINERS. We lay out the issue, using a LEGO CONTAINER SHIP (yes, a LEGO container ship), and provide a potential solution to alleviate the empties clogging the southern California ports.
