Every Stop a Shipping Container Makes from China to Chicago | WIRED
The global pandemic triggered sky-high spending on manufactured goods. This increased spending created a huge bottleneck in the supply chain that could last for years. WIRED takes a look at the journey of a single shipping container; and with the help of supply chain analyst Lora Cecere, breaks down all the roadblocks a shipping container…

No one said it here or in the video, so I’ll say it. The main reason the ports in CA aren’t using the latest technology is because of the unions. A long shoreman can make $250k a year doing what a robot can do.

Great logic, international travel teen under 18 don’t need to be vaccinated or even crossing the border refugee. But trucker who we need, who stay in their trucks isolated for week will lose their job next years. And this administration wonder what going on, inflation at at 39 year high and it will still climb. How can we get back to normal with new rules? Answer is we will never go back to normal. It’s too late and F up

It might seem like all this makes it costly to ship internationally, but what is shown in this video is actually the cheapest and most efficient possible way to ship goods today.
Think about that huge ship that is carrying millions of items. The price PER item is so incredibly low that for many items it is such a small price per unit that it is more like a rounding error than a high cost.

Alexander Wood
December 19, 2021 at 7:16 pm
Yup. They ignore trains going to Chicago even though that’s how virtually all containers get to Chicago, then they come up with “Hyperloop”. It sounds like we need more trains and more chassis and operate the backhaul of empties or filling them with goods to be exported more efficiently.

And this attitude is why the US is lagging behind (and will never catch up with) Asia and Europe now. People afraid and/or intimidated by new technology.
That said it won’t ever happen in the US any because it would require US companies spending money to upgrade to new technology and American companies no longer view business in the long-term, but only how to maximize short-term profits. Why invest in the future when we can give out management team fat bonuses every year? Who cares about customers or workers? Just give us that bonus!

7:40 Lora Cecere correctly identifies the main issue with the current container bottleneck at LA/LB (and many ports around the world): a shortage of truck chassis to evacuate full import containers and return empty (or full) containers for export – A lack of chassis. However, instead of shuttling containers via Hyperloop to distribution centers and container depot, EagleRail is a much more cost effective and practical solution:

The reason there is a backlog isn’t because “pesky consumers keep spending too much money on goods!” , it’s because California democrat leftist policies limited the amount of employees working at the port, and limited the amount of trucks that could drive into California to take the containers away. Thanks to this piece of propaganda, I’ve now confirmed that Wired is spewing leftist 2030 lies. Thanks for making that clear to everyone.

This is a perfect example of why US ports are slow. It’s because idiots think that instead of using trains, automated cranes, and automated container movement within the port, we should just use the hyperloop. How about unions that are not allowing automation be forced to get with the times, and we invest in existing rail infrastructure. The entire port is behind in every way and it’s not because of chassis. A lack of chassis just makes our sh!t stink even worse. The unions wouldn’t even let the ports go 24 hours a day until recently.

So blame unions huh, Such a classic merican burger flipper who don’t know whom to question & stays at s*** standards 😅.

Andrew H
December 21, 2021 at 12:39 am
@Wolf You don’t what you are saying. Listen up. You think the unions in your country act the same way as in America. THEY DON’T. In the US they very often put the profitability or quality of products of their parent company in jeopardy over the long term because of over reaching and irrational demands. In Sweden where I have experience with unions as well, they are much more rational, open to true compromise, open to technologic advancement even it I means a few lost jobs, etc etc. In the US, our port unions can’t even reassign a few crane operators. No, those crane operators are staying crane operators and automation will never occur or be decades behind. The lack of automation of any kind in the port of LA and Long Beach is mostly because if the unions being irrational. I support unions when they act like sane rational people. Like in Scandinavia they do a great job. US unions are too often too irrationally demanding. So yes, I blame the union because factually, they are a huge part of the problem.

Lol “we need to use something like Hyper Loop to transport the containers inland” are you stark raving mad woman?!! The hyper loop is expensive non efficient transport solution! We have something called freight trains and rail infrastructure that easily built at half the cost and 10x more efficient at transporting containers to an inland hub very quickly arrange schedule setup but no one seems to see port-to-rail directly as a solution to alleviate the congestion by federal government authority to coordinate such logistics by executive order. Sad we just let the logistics companies fumble and wait for them to figure out coordinations amongst themselves.

The end of this video is flabbergasting: the entire theme is that US ports are far behind comparable facilities in Europe and China when it comes to automation and then the proposed solution is to build a hyperloop?
We are just going to skip the existing freight rail network and pretend that top speed and acceleration of the vehicles getting out of the port are the limiting factors in this system?

8:30 hyperloop imo doesnt seem too good of an idea, only maybe 1 to 35 containers at a time so not too great capacity and a bit too expensive to build, a conventional train would be much better for that, more capacity than trucks and hyperloop (maybe 40 to 80 at a time)

USA inefficiency.. because of the unions AS long as democrats are allowed to run these places……….they are not willing to let a crisis go unexploited.
It is the present government that manufactors these crises, so they can promise people to fix them by printing more money.
The biggest reason is that many truckers will only go to the California line to pick up containers. Inland truckers have avoided California for just a few short years. Many of the chassis are taken up at the state line because of the red tape involved with the innefficient democratic run state.

Every container represents a transfer of wealth – which will never return. It’s all one-way traffic. Which is why our factories close every day.

So all in all, the delay is all here at North America port side. So it’s actually false to call it a “shipment “ issue; rather, it’s a poor port side logistic at North America side that’s holding all the product unload …

So instead of better organizing the shipping industry and getting it up the the standards the rest of the world already has implemented, the US should add another unproven mode of transportation like the Hyperloop? If ports and logistic hubs already struggle to get basic tasks automated you would really expect them to adapt that fully automated technology? To me it seems way more likely that asian or european countries will build Hyperloop networks to further improve their shipping industries, it would be the perfect addition for an already almost fully automated system. In the US a Hyperloop network would be congested within a day.

I’m pretty sure that’s a 40 foot container, not a 20 foot one, that you’re tracking. Also, aren’t those folks at 6:55 unloading air shipping containers? Your essential point is a good one, but it’s undermined by a fact check here and the wrong stock footage there.

Why is there no automation why does it take so long to get a container and a container to the warehouse or distribution center why does it take so long for empties to get back to the trucks and and back to the ships one word the LONG SHOREMAN they screwed up the Harbor so bad this is what we have

Very true.
Also the number 1 to 5 % of containers fell off into the sea is wrong. Insurance cost for shipment is 1 % of cost of shipment. I don’t think insurance company will charge 1% if the lady quoted number 1-5% is correct.

We need to manufacture THINGS to send back, not send empty containers. US relies completely on Asia to feed us, put clothes on our backs, and smartphones in our hands. Look at the exploding trade deficit. What happens when they decide to stop producing for us? Or when a global health crisis happens and we cant even produce our own toilet paper…

If things are so backed up that this may continue until 2023 why not make a new port somewhere on the east coast. Somewhere thats cheaper than California. That is built to the necessary scale and is actually designed efficiently so that short term it can provide relief, but long term it can actually run more efficiently than other ports, and see some return on investment. Seems like a no brainer. Then after ships unload there they can swing by California to pick up all the empty boxes.

This problem is fixable. The only issue is the owners and everyone who makes money in this industry doesn’t want to make LESS money than they already do. And guess what, this crisis is making them MORE money than if things were running smoothly. If politicians and businessmen didn’t butcher our manufacturing capacity and outsource it to China, we would not be in this big of a mess.
