2:02Now PlayingThe historic traffic jam at the Port of Los Angeles has eased slightly as ocean carriers face fines for letting cargo linger and “sweeper ships” arrive to haul off empty containers.
The number of import containers at the nation’s largest port has fallen by one-quarter to 71,000 since last month, when it and the rival Port of Long Beach announced a plan to assess a fee of $100 a day on containers overstaying their welcome. While the ports have since delayed penalizing ocean carriers, the threat of the fines has helped clear their yards some.
The number of containers at the L.A. port lingering long enough to trigger the fines -- nine days or longer -- has fallen 29%, port Executive Director Gene Seroka told reporters Tuesday in a virtual press conference with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
