(Photo: Flickr/kees torn CC BY-SA 2.0) Listen to this article 0:00 / 4:36 1X Nike and other major U.S. importers just got another kick in the shins. The arrival of the Maersk Eureka at the Port of Long Beach, California, will be delayed by about three weeks because of a mechanical problem at sea. The notice of the latest delay came from MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co., which told customers Thursday, “Maersk has informed us that the container ship Maersk Eureka, deployed on our Sequoia service, had to stop at sea due to a damaged fuel pump.” https://www.freightwaves.com/news/eureka-another-container-ship-en-route-to-long-beach-delayed?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm… 1/4 26.3.2021 Eureka, another container ship en route to Long Beach, delayed - FreightWaves That occurred March 12. Two days later, according to MSC, “the vessel had to stop again to perform additional investigation. The engine remains off in order to reduce further impact.” MSC said a tugboat carrying a service crew is scheduled to arrive at the scene Sunday. It is estimated that the repairs will not be completed until Wednesday. Weather could be a complicating factor, with MSC reporting “the vessel operator has said it is monitoring lashings as higher winds are expected in the next three to five days, with the tug remaining on standby in case of need.” A Maersk spokesman told American Shipper the Eureka was holding its position 650 miles off Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The customer notice pointed out that “no containers have been lost or damaged and all reefers are on power.” But because of the repairs, the Eureka is expected to be 15 to 20 days behind schedule, MSC said. The Eureka, with a capacity of 13,092 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) departed Yokohama, Japan, on March 6. It had been scheduled to arrive at the Port of Long Beach this past Monday. Ship arrivals at the port routinely have been delayed since an import surge that began late last summer has continued unabated and resulted in historic congestion in San Pedro Bay. There also was the case of the ONE Apus, which lost 1,816 TEUs while en route to Long Beach on Nov. 30 and turned around and returned to Japan. On board the Eureka, according to FreightWaves maritime market expert Henry Byers, are at least 15 containers filled with Nike shoes. Other commodities inside containers include pressure washers, tires, dumbbells, luggage, computer desks, patio furniture, fuel filters and hand sanitizer. Nike last week blamed kinks in the supply chain for an 11% year-over-year revenue decline, according to FreightWaves’ Andrew Cox. https://www.freightwaves.com/news/eureka-another-container-ship-en-route-to-long-beach-delayed?utm_source=sfmc&utm_medium=email&utm… 2/4 26.3.2021 Eureka, another container ship en route to Long Beach, delayed - FreightWaves In his Point of Sale newsletter, Cox quoted Nike Chief Financial Officer Matt Friend as saying, “Disruption in the global supply chain due to container shortages, transportation delays and port congestion has interrupted the flow of inventory supply.” Byers said in addition to Nike, top consignees on the Eureka include JD North America, a manufacturer of equipment such as pressure washers; Sentury Tire USA; Icon Health & Fitness; AJ Wholesale Distributors, which handles everything from power tools to pet products; it Luggage, available everywhere from Amazon to Walmart; At Home Procurement, which specializes in wood furniture; Praxair, which has products that include gases as well as welding equipment; Maruchan, a maker of ramen noodles; and Woodard-CM, a producer of outdoor furniture. MSC and Maersk are members of the 2M Alliance space-sharing cooperative. Vessels utilized for the Sequoia Asia-U.S. service, in addition to the Maersk Eureka, are the MSC Josseline, the MSC Aries and the MSC Savona. The three MSC vessels all sail directly from Shanghai to Long Beach. Byers said other top consignees for the Sequoia service include Amazon Logistics, De Well Container Shipping, DHL Global Forwarding, Dillard’s, EGA America, Eurybia Logistics, Expeditors International, Headwin Global Logistics, Hecny Transportation, Ikea Supply, JDY International, LF Logistics, Living Spaces Furniture, OEC Shipping, Orly Shoe, Prime Agency, Ross Procurement, Scholastic Inc., Topocean Consolidation, Transgroup Global Logistics and WTO Express. The top non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) using the service are Apex Maritime, Danmar Lines, Expeditors, Kuehne + Nagel and Orient Express Container Line, Byers said.

  • ZANZEFF Shore to Store Project
    Zero- and Near Zero-Emission Freight Facilities (ZANZEFF) Shore to Store Project In 2006, the Port of Los Angeles in partnership with the Port of Long Beach adopted the Clean Air Action Plan (CAAP), which was updated in 2010 and 2017 (https://cleanairactionplan.org). The CAAP identifies strategies to reduce air pollution from every source including ships, trucks, trains, harbor craft, and cargo handling equipment. Successful technology demonstrations of zero- and near zero-emission technologies may accelerate the availability of clean technologies that are necessary to implement existing strategies outlined in the CAAP or to develop future control measures, alternatives, or mitigation measures.

  • Port Ships Are Massive L.A. Polluters. Will California Force A
    Port ships are becoming L.A.’s biggest polluters. Will California force a cleanup? In December, a barge at the Port of Los Angeles uses a system, known as a bonnet or “sock on a stack,” that’s intended to scrub exhaust. (Allen J. Schaben / Los Angeles Times) Ships visiting Southern California’s bustling ports are poised to become the region’s larg­ est source of smog­causing pollutants in coming years, one reason state regulators want to reduce emissions from thousands more of them. Air quality officials want to expand the number of ships that, while docked, must either shut down their auxiliary engines and plug into shore power or scrub their exhaust by hooking up to machines known as bonnets or “socks on a stack.” But some neighbors of the ports say the California Air Resources Board is not moving fast enough to cut a rising source of pollution. Some also fear that the shipping industry and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will use their clout to weaken the proposed restrictions, which the Air Resources Board will decide on in the first half of the year. “We need relief; it’s just that simple,” said Theral Golden of the West Long Beach Assn., a neighborhood group that has long fought for cleaner air in a community that is among the hardest hit by port pollution. Ruben Garcia, president of Advanced Environmental Group, points out the telescoping tube of an emissions capture system that’s attached to a barge at the Port of L.A. (Allen J.

  • Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME to DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH
    DTLB Economic Profile 2021 WELCOME TO DOWNTOWN LONG BEACH In 2020 the Downtown Long Beach Alliance broke with tradition, deciding to postpone and ultimately cancel its Annual Economic Profile, resolving instead to include data and research about the unique events of 2020 and their impacts on the Downtown economy as context for the forward-looking 2021 Economic Profile. Though still ongoing, the initial impacts and potential lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are much clearer today than they were this time last year, when the virus was still little understood. Downtown Long Beach experienced immense growth and investment in the years following the Great Recession. What had been a steady influx of new businesses ramped up in 2019, with a plethora of new dining, drinking, and entertainment options throughout the district. The blossoming of ground- floor retail was reflected in investments by office-based businesses, such as the rapidly growing online cycling firm Zwift, and a slew of residential developers whose projects have helped build out vacant redevelopment lots and convert office buildings with dwindling tenancies into mid-income and luxury housing. As you will see in this report, the pandemic put a pin in this trajectory—but it did not reverse it. Some businesses permanently closed as a result of the pandemic and ensuing government-mandated health orders, and many people lost employment—significant losses that will be felt for some time. However, many businesses clung on with the assistance of federal and local aid. Office, retail, and residential occupancy rates remain largely unchanged compared to the period before COVID-19 disrupted the economy.

  • TRANSPORTATION and DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS in the INLAND EMPIRE: the Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal
    TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Pat Mc Inturff California State University, San Bernardino Management Department Jose L. Garcia California State University, San Bernardino Director, Inland Commerce and Security Institute Tania Paimar California State University, San Bernardino Research Associate June 25, 2009 1 TRANSPORTATION AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS IN THE INLAND EMPIRE: The Impact of the Port Ensenada Proposal Phase I Introduction Over the last decades the Inland Empire has emerged as a global distribution center with over 700 million square feet of distribution and warehouses under roof. Along with this phenomenal growth, the transp01iation infrastructure of the region has become over burdened and highly congested. Adding to the growth and an infrastructure stretched thin is the ongoing aiJival of super container ships at the po1is of Long Beach and Los Angeles. One proposal to lessen the pressure on the Southern California po1is has been the expansion ai1d redevelopment of P01i Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Once a favored port of cruise ships, the p01i has embarked on moving from principally a passenger destination to becoming a global port facility. The overall focus of this study is to analyze the impact of Po1i Ensenada upon the Inland Empire by addressing identifiable consequences upon the transp01iation infrastructure including highway, rail, and shipping utilization and flow of goods in relation to existing and expected wai·ehouses and distribution centers. Phase one of this study will consist primai·ily of the collection of archival research, public writings and the understanding of the Port of Ensenada project proposals along with its cmTent developmental status.
