'We shifted the problem from one coast to two others': Los Angeles cargo backlog eases, but other ports now clogging up

Ports on the Atlantic and Gulf Coast are now getting overwhelmed with cargo as shippers send their goods there.

Containerships call at the Port of Los Angeles. The port is seeing less container volumes, but part of the reason why is because goods are getting shipped to other US ports that are now overwhelmed with cargo, executive director Gene Seroka said.
