US retailers commit to use night hours at West Coast ports to smooth cargo flows
What: The U.S. is looking to move its supply chain to one that can operate 24/7 starting with the ports in LA and Long Beach.
Why it is important: President Biden thinks that this is going to speed up the delivery of goods across America.
The new schedule means that ports will now be open for 60 extra hours each week, allowing cargo to flow out of the port at a 25% faster pace than during the daytime as they will flow into highways at off-peak hours.
Walmart, Target, and The Home Depot are among the cargo owners and carriers that have committed to use the extended hours.
