Excerpts from the Journal of Commerce:
The Southern California ports also are beginning to experience chassis shortages and dislocation problems as ocean carriers make good on their promise to get out of the chassis business and leave it to third-party providers and pools to manage the equipment.
The chassis issue has caught the attention of the Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners, and the board has directed port staff to attempt to assemble a working group that will address the chassis issues for the peak season and beyond, said Don Snyder, the port’s director of trade development.

Average spot rates on the eastbound trans-Pacific trade surged by 20 percent this week as carriers put a peak-season surcharge into effect on June 10.
The Drewry benchmark rate for shipping a 40-foot container from Hong Kong to Los Angeles rose to $2,700 per FEU this week from the level of $2,250 per FEU last week.
The increase indicates that the Transpacific Stabilization Agreement carrier members were able to nail down more than two-thirds of the peak-season surcharge of $600 per FEU that the TSA recommended on May 9.
