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 will encounter in 2021 and beyond.

Shanghai was over 40 million TEUs in 2020. Long Beach would be about 9 million TEUs in 2021. They somehow managed to expand fast enough to keep up with demand. US ports, not so much. We know where the bottleneck is. It's a function of the national government being willing to spend money to build infrastructure. In the US, there is a log jam caused by political bickering.

It is important to voice that the lack of efficiency is where they make money. If they were as automated, upscaled, and logistically integrated as modern ports then everyone making money would lose it. They make money on service fees and premiums during congested times like these. The shipping monopolies are all deliberately not investing billions of dollars to upgrade things to the new standard. If they did then the profits of "economic rents" to their networks would plummet. Lots of traffic means lots of money for toll booths. More toll booths mean more traffic. Why would they invest in infrastructure that would reduce their "tollbooths"?

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.

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.

The video doesn't actually contain the information the title claims. I guess I'll tell you. Container loaded on a ship and departs China at sea in transit at port in other locations waiting for offload and loading of other containers At sea in transit. (Currently expect 20 day wait for clearance to enter LA Long Beach ports. You are not in line until you reach queue area. This causes full power in a hurry so they can wait. If they slow to conserve fuel it can cost millions and another week) Unload at port. Wait 9-11 days Get placed on a chassis and taken by truck to a warehouse in the greater LA area. Wait indefinitely for empty containers to be removed to make space at the dock to unload. Once unloaded the container becomes one of more than 100,000 estimated empty containers clogging up LA and Long Beach. For many reasons, mainly California being California, it is cheaper and easier to make another container in China than it is to take it back for reuse. Amazon is responding by having them made to easily convert to standard US road trailers. They charter entire ships with their own crane to offload. Next the road trailer is completed and the loaded trailer starts it's 20+ year life of highway use.

Opening segment "over a hundred container ships floated in the waters outside of LA waiting to unload" - None of the ships in the footage are container ships... 0:59 "95% of manufactured goods now move across the world on shipping containers" - again footage of a large number of ships and not a single container vessel.
