Despite President Biden’s announcement Oct. 13 that the severely backlogged Port of Los Angeles would expand into 24/7 operating hours—similar to the Port of Long Beach—port officials are saying the backlog will continue until the summer of 2022.

Noel Hacegaba, deputy executive director of the Port of Long Beach, said expanding the ports’ operating hours won’t impact the supply chain disruptions given the continued shortage of truck drivers, chassis equipment, and warehouse operations and space.
