Supply chain shortage: Port of Oakland offers to help ease cargo ship backlog in SoCal
ABC7OAKLAND, Calif. -- While the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach experience a backlog of ships and cargo, the Port of Oakland has room to spare.
"We are part of the solution to stabilize the supply chain, so we are talking to ocean carriers to offer relief from the other ports," said Bryan Brandes, Port of Oakland Director of Maritime.
Brandes says the port experienced some congestion earlier this year, but rebounded by increasing it's workforce by 16% and training employees to do more.

He says vessel carriers may not be taking Oakland up on the offer because of concerns it could add an incremental delay.
