USA Port Congestion
Port
Congestion in some of the major USA ports, most notably Los Angeles and
New York, has worsened as of recent weeks. Import volumes related to USA -
China Tariffs and pre Chinese New Year rush have surged. Increased shipping,
along with weather associated delays, have caused terminals to store more
containers -resulting in chassis shortage and substantially longer dwell times.
Import containers are suffering substantial delays in availability, delivery
and/or rail transport to inland destinations.
Relief
is expected with the decline in shipping volumes during Chinese New Year which
begins February 5, 2019. Carriers and terminals are working on clearing the
backlog. However, with the severe winter weather, cargo movement between the
Midwest/Northeast and the rest of the country is drastically delayed, affecting
both import and export traffic.

in Honolulu. Visit
our page to view the progress of the building project.
Beard for Buck$ - A campaign to help raise money for charity, that will help
the homeless in Hawaii. So far we have earmarked over $25,000 for charity,

Just so you know, for a single donation of
$10,000, Brad Dechter, the President of DHX-Dependable Hawaiian Express, and

the official colors of Dependable Supply Chain Services, for a month!
For $25,000 he will dye the beard and his hair, too! It’s all for a
