Excerpts from the Journal of Commerce:
The Southern California ports also are beginning to experience chassis shortages and dislocation problems as ocean carriers make good on their promise to get out of the chassis business and leave it to third-party providers and pools to manage the equipment.
The chassis issue has caught the attention of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, and the board has directed port staff to attempt to assemble a working group that will address the chassis issues for the peak season and beyond, said Don Snyder, the port’s director of trade development.
