Today in Capital Matters: Ocean Shipping

I write about how more businesses are shipping east to ship west:

West Coast supply-chain infrastructure is so inefficient and unreliable that businesses are deciding they’d be better off shipping their products to the opposite side of the continent instead.

The shift to East Coast ports in response to West Coast congestion is not new (I wrote a post on it last October) but it’s getting more attention now that the line of ships waiting off the coast of southern California has essentially disappeared.
