On this episode of What's Going On With Shipping, Sal Mercogliano - Chair of the Department of History, Criminal Justice and Political Science, former merchant mariner, and adjunct professor of Maritime Industry Policy at the US Merchant Marine Academy - discusses the rumors that Biden Administration is going to address the port congestions by ordering them to initiate 24/7 operations in the ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, along with fines on truckers missing gate appointments. Sal points out why targeting the ships at anchor is the wrong way to address the issue.
