US laziness is the cause of delays at the US ports. In other countries,
ships do not have wait and no delays at loading and unloading at all.
This is because their port cranes run 24 hours a day. They also have
enough of port cranes and are always open for use, too.
In US, the port workers and staff do not work 24 hours. They want to
enjoy summer and autumn days at home and see their lovers at the
drinking bars.
Hence loading and unloading of containers from arriving ship are
delayed. Now the US port delaying arriving ships at shore.
Hence the turn-around time is 70 days for container ships to leave US
with their emptied containers
Now shops and malls in US have no goods for Christmas. All their goods
are still waiting for unloading at US ports.
After unloading of container from ship, container is sent by trailer on
trucks to the warehouse for unloading the cartons of goods.
The cartons are then loaded to truck for delivery to homeowners, shops
and malls for display and sales to their shoppers.
Looks like all those Christmas goods will reach Us stores and homes one
month after Christmas.
