Practical capacity and congestion dynamics at LA/LB for planners
Recommendation: Implement a real-time, data-driven capacity model for coastal hubs, focusing on three bottlenecks: inbound traffic, yard dwell, gate throughput; run a two-week pilot in october to calibrate parameters before implementing regulations.
Scrutiny from regulators drives this approach; four components govern the model: berth productivity, yard utilization, inland routes, gate clearance. Throughput remains the core KPI; discussions with customers yield special feedback on route choices; michael, carolina provide input for tuning. During a persistent downturn in metals demand, shipments surged via oakland corridor, pushing orders, triggering delivery adjustments; this creates issues in dwell times. Before implementing regulations, align with regulations, update capacity assumptions monthly; maintain flexible delivery schedules.
Key data inputs include crane moves per hour; kilograms per container, dwell time, berth occupancy, gate turns. Target metrics: average turnaround under 1.15 days for trucks; yard occupancy near 93–95 percent; crane productivity at 28–32 lifts per hour; cargo flows yielding 2.0–2.4 TEU per hour per gang. Special focus on international supply lines from route to oakland helps address variability. Future updates reflect october shipments; monthly simulations identify bottlenecks before escalation.
The plan delivers: automated gate appointment windows; persistent workforce training; route diversification between inland hubs; regular discussions with customers; phased rollout in october to test constraints; monitor metrics such as throughput; queue lengths; publish monthly updates for stakeholders; feedback loop with michael; carolina to refine rules; before expanding to full scale, run a 90-day pilot.
Long-term success depends on governance capable of absorbing economy cycles; the model must adapt to surges; regulatory shifts; persistent workforce planning remains central; updates translate insights into action; the forthcoming october revision cycle will surface issues requiring adjustments to route, yard configuration, and workforce allocation.
Throughput benchmarks and peak-hour constraints at the ports
Recommendation: beginning pilots in select corridors to validate a data-driven, peak-hour scheduling framework binding gates; landside corridors; rail yards; marine movements. This aligns with alliance updates; canadian partners; teri coordination; director-level reviews; according to industry sources. This plan takes a data-driven approach. This plan aims to reduce landed-cost.
Benchmark data: mongelluzzo notes in updates that throughput on the California gateway’s twin terminals runs roughly 9–10 million TEUs annually; peak-hour gate throughput ranges 90–110 moves per hour during surges; crane productivity lands 28–34 moves per hour per ship-to-shore crane; yard-interface handles 20–25 moves per hour when corridors stay aligned; delays persist in metals, other cargo types; enables teams to respond quickly to disruptions.
Peak-hour constraints and mitigation: queues at curbsides, limited rail coverage, narrow spans across staging blocks drive friction; traditional gate practices remain friction-prone; analyst sees peak-hour throughput shift under pilot; chances to stabilize capacity grow with disciplined execution; likely response includes expanding gate lanes; pre-clearing import moves; accelerating chassis turnover; warn timing discipline remains critical to prevent landed-cost from rising.
Implementation outline: pilot dynamic queueing on one corridor portion; expanding illuminated lanes; deploying pre-cleared lanes; locating temporary labor pools; monitoring landed-cost impact; starting with a three-month trial; reviews by the director team; putting emphasis on environmental compliance to curb metals handling delays; teri insights help calibrate the pilot; first phase rollout targets three corridors; caution: capacity forecasts remain sensitive; This approach can allow faster turn times.

Recommendation: Build four priority lanes anchored at inland transloading hubs; lock contracted slots; deploy TPM21-informed demand signals to assign prioritized capacity; convert e-commerce spikes into steady throughput; reduce waste; curb backlogs.
Volumes show growth in the range of 18–22% year over year; asia-origin shipments drive the majority; indian suppliers contribute notable volumes; export flows maintain momentum; a route via auckland offers a buffer against westbound congestion; routings shift to balance load between america bound flows with export streams.
Strategic moves address backlog by diverting loads to non-peak windows; diverted shipments reduce waste; time-to-load improves through tight coordination with shippers; decision cadence tightened to daily dashboards; border risk is mitigated by pre-cleared documentation; closer collaboration with customs brokers reduces delays.
Contracted capacity at inland hubs enables more predictable pickup times; transport providers adjust moves to a 4–6 day window; routing options include auckland-derived legs for transpacific moves; base case uses a two-stage transload then rail move; editor notes highlight benefits for shippers and the sector.
Future outlook relies on better analytics; shared data; contracted capacity aligned with shippers needs; editor notes highlight benefits for the sector; continued volumes from asia plus emerging indian suppliers support expansion; improved visibility yields higher margins; border throughput improvements cut rush spikes; waste drops as forecast accuracy increases; auckland remains a flexible option for regional diversions; export cycles, import cycles, routings diversify the exposure.
news highlights emphasize resilience in multi-route solutions.
Steps to accelerate container transloading from ships to inland modes

Recommendation: establish a dedicated transloading corridor linking coastal gateways with inland corridors. Deploy fixed window schedules; synchronize railcars movements with inland drayage. Invest in yard automation; flexible labour reduces dwell time. Implement cross-functional data sharing among shippers; terminal operators; trucking firms to improve accurate ETAs.
traders says the upside from improved routing is material; california-based operators have observed rising throughput when contingency routing exists. country insights inform pacing choices across key corridors.
During october, severe spike in volume tested inland nodes; errico says labour constraints currently limit throughput; flexibility in routing reduces exposure. faced severe congestion last quarter across inland hubs.
