Message From The Editor
Long-term ocean freight rates now up over 90% year-on-year
As I write this, there are 147 container ships anchored outside of the Port of Los Angeles waiting to dock and unload. It seems that the freight yard is full beyond capacity due to labour shortages throughout the global supply chain, especially for truck drivers who are needed to move the freight out and deliver it in the U.S.
I just learned that the Progressive Detroit Boat Show has postponed another year citing, “…inventory shortages, COVID concerns, and a commitment to customer satisfaction.” Show goers would not be pleased to find skimpy displays with just a few boats, so perhaps it’s best to not hold a weak show, hoping for better conditions next year. Of course, dealers can’t sell boats they can’t get anyway.
