AS CALIFORNIA'S TWO MEGA PORTS OF LOS ANGELES and Long Beach were struggling to accommodate an unprecedented surge of inbound cargo last month, many U.S. West Coast shippers were able to divert traffic to the Port of Oakland as a relief measure- thereby saving millions of dollars and keeping our economic recovery alive.Asian factories, meanwhile, continue shipping goods in record numbers to replenish American store shelves and assembly lines.
