摘要：	WHEN OPERATIONS WERE SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY last month at China's Meishan terminal in the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan, industry analysts were quick to detect a complex, dysfunctional trend. The event triggering this port's closure was due to another outbreak of COVID-19, but all major Pacific Rim ports are vulnerable to a host of similar disruptive events. "We are at a critical moment in time as the continuation of port and terminal closures is further weakening an already fragile global supply chain," says Brian Alster, general manager of third-party risk and compliance at Dun & Bradstreet. "The immediacy of the moment often takes away from the importance of planning for the future." One need only look to this nation's two largest ocean cargo gateways to see the need for more strategic cooperation. Container dwell time at the San Pedro Bay ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, for example, remains a crisis, as pandemic-related surge volumes remain high-with no end in sight.
