The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have been overburdened with a deluge of container imports over the last few months. As a result, cargo heading into and out of the ports has slowed to a relative crawl, as the ports deal with record-breaking volume alongside a reduction in staff related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This slowdown resulting from high levels of imports has created congestion at terminals and in surrounding areas.

From a logistics perspective, one of the biggest lessons learned (so far) in the COVID-19 pandemic is that long supply chains stretching across the globe can spell trouble. Shutdowns in one manufacturing center in Asia—or the United States, for that matter—can imperil companies down the chain. 

With May just around the corner, we’re getting ready for a full schedule of virtual trainings – including those focusing on automotive warranty, USMCA Content Reporting and the AIAG & VDA FMEA Handbook, along with new offerings like our ACE Reporting courses for both import and export.

Whether your team is working remotely, back at the office, or somewhere in between, we’ve got the cybersecurity resources you need to help ensure your network is secure moving forward.

Planning has already begun for the virtual 2021 IMDS & Product Chemical Compliance Conference. Be sure to save the date: October 19–20, 2021.
