The number of ships waiting outside Los Angeles and Long Beach ports have been reduced to less than 40, from over 100 earlier this year, according to Cheng Cheng-mount, chairman of Taiwan-based Yang Ming Marine. The waiting time for ships at Shanghai ports is two or three days while those in the U.S. have a 10-to-14-day waiting time.
“I think this is a good sign that the port congestion has been easing,” Mr. Cheng said. “We foresee in the second half, everything will become smooth. All the difficulties will be easier.”
