US ports say they have plenty of space for containers during the Covid-19 pandemic, despite media reports suggesting that boxes are stacking up dockside due to supply-chain disruptions.
Amazon and other parcel giants have limited deliveries to essential items only as China slowly resumes production, but the shift is not causing any container backlog, port officials say.
The Port of Los Angeles — the largest container port in the US — actually saw March volumes fall 31% from a year ago to 449,568 teu as a result of the virus, executive director Gene Seroka said.
