The Biden administration has tapped a new port envoy tasked with easing the shipping bottleneck that’s stacked up ships on the West Coast and has some anchored in Bellingham Bay.
The Washington Post reports the pandemic has caused rolling shutdowns of factories and ports around the world, disrupting a finely tuned production and shipping system.
It’s caused a huge back up at ports in Southern California that have expanded to ports in Tacoma and Seattle.
That has ships waiting days and sometimes weeks to unload cargo, often in Bellingham Bay and other parts of Puget Sound.
Port envoy John Pocari served as a transportation official in the Obama administration.
