<p>[quote user="BaltACD"]Port area are congested area. There is not excess storage space to store the three hundered or four hundered boxes that missed that once a month vessel.[/quote]</p> <p>The SSA Terminal, one of five container terminals at the Port of Long Beach has a storage capacity of 24,000 TEU. So under normal circumstances storage of 350 40' containers shouldn't be a problem.</p> <p>But the Ports of Long Beach/Los Angeles suffered a huge congestion in late 2017 caused, IIRC, by mega vessels and not enough appropriate container handling equipment leading delay for vessels of up to three weeks. Intermodal trains were held back en route to easy congestion in the Port.</p> <p>I don't know if there still is a congestion.</p> <p>Storing the train might just be an economical question, especially if there is a surplus of container cars.<br />Regards, Volker</p>
