| 摘要： | DESPITE THE ONGOING IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC, a shortage of workers, a surge of containers and a lack of warehouse space, U.S. West Coast ports saw a 24.6% year-over-year jump in containers processed during peak season last year. The close collaboration demonstrated by The International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Pacific Maritime Association to accommodate this surge during this crisis was recognized by Pacific Merchant Shipping Association vice president Thomas Jelenic, who observes that some dockworkers have become sick and too many have died. "In a year of crisis, the men and women on the waterfront ensured that the goods to protect us during a pandemic and keep our economy functioning were always available," adds Jelenic. It should be noted, however, that one contributing factor to the peak season cargo sector's efficiency may have been because no cruise vessels were complicating harbor operations-or posing another threat. |
