Cargo thefts jump more than 40% along the West Coast because ports are unable to guard the mountain of containers yet to be unloaded due to supply backlog

由于供應積壓,港口無法保護大量尚未卸貨的集裝箱,西海岸的貨物盜竊案增加了 40% 以上

Cargo thefts along the West Coast - home to the nation's largest ports - have jumped 42 percent since last year.
The correlation between the California ports' logjam and crime rise came was hardly a shock to crime and theft specialist Scott Cornell.
'The more that the supply chain in general is backed up, the more cargo you're going to have sitting and that creates a bigger opportunity for thefts,' crime and theft specialist at insurance company Travelers Scott Cornell, told CBS MoneyWatch.

自去年以來,美國最大港口所在地西海岸的貨物盜竊案增加了 42%。
加利福尼亞港口的擁堵與犯罪率上升之間的相關性對犯罪和盜竊專家斯科特康奈爾來說幾乎不值得驚訝。
(這位來自)保險公司的犯罪和盜竊專家告訴CBS商業(yè)觀察欄目:“總體而言,供應鏈得到的支持越多,你所擁有的貨物就越多,這為盜竊創(chuàng)造了更大的機會。”

More than $5million in consumer goods were stolen in California during the third-quarter of 2021, according to cargo theft recovery and prevention network CargoNet - another blow to the state's beleaguered ports.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which move about 40 percent of shipped cargo entering the U.S., are struggling with an unprecedented backlog that’s slowing the nation’s overall supply chain ahead of the holidays.
The backlog is exacerbated by thousands of empty shipping containers sitting on the ports, creating a logistical nightmare for truckers trying to move product.
Meanwhile, ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach have fired a warning shot against shippers letting their empty containers linger on docks too long, saying they could soon charge up to $35,000 per month – per unit – for abandoned boxes.

根據貨物盜竊追回和預防網絡 CargoNet 的數據,2021 年第三季度加州有超過500萬美元的消費品被盜,這是對該州陷入困境的港口的又一次打擊。
大約 40% 的進入美國的運輸貨物經由洛杉磯和長灘的港口運送,它們正在努力應對前所未有的積壓,這在(圣誕)假期前導致了美國的整體供應鏈減緩。
港口上的數千個空集裝箱加劇了積壓,為試圖運送產品的卡車司機帶來了物流噩夢。
與此同時,洛杉磯和長灘的港口對托運人讓空集裝箱在碼頭逗留時間過長發(fā)出警告,稱他們很快就會對未回收的箱子收取每月高達 35,000 美元的費用。

It's another blow for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.

這對洛杉磯和長灘的港口來說是又一打擊。

California was the state most targeted by freight thieves during the third-quarter, CargoNet said in its most recent supply chain analysis.
While theft and fraud cases throughout the U.S. and Canada declined overall year-over-year, a 42 percent uptick in thefts was observed on the West Coast.
California has been leading the nation in cargo thefts for the entire year, having reported 208 cases of freight looting through September 30.
‘This comes as no surprise, as California continues to struggle with frequent thefts of high-end computer electronics shipments,’ CargoNet said in a statement.

CargoNet網在其最近的供應鏈分析中表示,加利福尼亞州是第三季度最受貨運竊賊襲擊的州。
雖然整個美國和加拿大的盜竊和欺詐案件同比整體下降,但西海岸的盜竊案件卻增加了 42%。
加州在全年的貨物盜竊案中一直領先全國,截至9月 30日已報告了208 起貨物搶劫案件。
CargoNet 在一份聲明中說:“這不足為奇,因為加利福尼亞繼續(xù)與頻繁的高端計算機電子產品盜竊案作斗爭。”

‘…Cargo thieves continued to show a strong preference for computer electronics shipments and nearly 70 percent of these thefts in the third quarter of 2021 occurred in California.’
Texas had the second-highest rate of cargo thieves this year with 162 cases reported during the year's first nine months. Florida recorded 117 cases

“……貨物盜竊犯們繼續(xù)表現出對計算機電子產品運輸的強烈偏好,2021 年第三季度近 70% 的盜竊發(fā)生在加利福尼亞?!?br /> 德克薩斯州今年前九個月報告了162起貨物盜竊案,是今年第二高的貨物竊賊發(fā)生率。佛羅里達州記錄了117例

California led the nation in cargo thefts in a trend largely driven by demand for electronics

加州的貨物盜竊趨勢在很大程度上是由電子產品需求驅動的

California reported 208 cargo thefts during the first nine months of 2021, handily outpacing other states such as Texas, Florida, and Illinois

Electronics accounted for 49 percent of California's stolen goods, and household items accounted for an additional 15 percent in lifted loot, CargoNet said in its third-quarter report.
Other popular items among criminals included clothes, accessories, food and drinks.
California cargo haulers reported 62 thefts during the third quarter at an average loss of $233,000 per crime, CargoNet said.
About $5.28 million in consumer goods was stolen during the timefrx.

CargoNet 在其第三季度報告中稱,電子產品占加州贓物的 49%,家居用品占被盜贓物的 15%。
其他受犯罪分子歡迎的物品包括衣服、配飾、食物和飲料。
CargoNet 稱,加州貨運公司在第三季度報告了 62 起盜竊案,每次犯罪平均損失 233,000 美元。
在此期間,約有 528 萬美元的消費品被盜。

The LA and Long Beach ports – collectively known as the San Pedro Bay port complex – were initially set to begin billing carriers Monday for empty containers that have overstayed their welcome
The mass congestion of vacant units is monopolizing space in nearby truck lots, blocking filled containers from getting moved, and crippling efficiency.
But executives voted last Friday to delay issuing fines until at least November 15 while they assess the situation.

洛杉磯和長灘港口——統稱為圣佩德羅灣港口綜合體——最初定于周一開始向承運人收取逾期滯留的空集裝箱費用
空置單元的大規(guī)模擁堵正在壟斷附近卡車停車場的空間,阻止裝滿的集裝箱移動,并降低效率。
但高管們上周五投票決定將罰款的發(fā)放時間至少推遲到 11 月 15 日,以便他們評估情況。

Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka said authorities tried getting shippers to voluntarily comply with removing empty containers before resorting to a fine system +7
Port of Los Angeles executive director Gene Seroka said authorities tried getting shippers to voluntarily comply with removing empty containers before resorting to a fine system
If the fee structure is implemented, it would bring $100 per container, per day charges for containers moving by truck or ship that have been dwelling nine days or more.
Containers continuing their journey by rail have six days to get off the terminal.
The fine system is incremental, rising $100 each day, meaning a carrier would be charged about $45,000 for letting a container sit a month beyond deadline.

如果實施收費,對于用車船運輸的集裝箱已滯留 9天以上的,每個集裝箱每天將收取 100 美元的費用。
繼續(xù)通過鐵路運輸的集裝箱有六天的時間從碼頭運走。
罰款系統是遞增的,每天增加 100 美元,這意味著承運人入宮讓集裝箱在截止日期后滯留一個月,將被收取約 45,000 美元。

Gene Seroka, the port’s executive director, said authorities tried enticing shippers with the carrot before turning to the stick.
‘We’ve tried diplomacy,’ he told CNBC Tuesday. ‘We’ve tried collaboration, operations meetings all around, and nothing has moved the needle just yet. This is a last resort and one I didn’t want to have to take, but we’re starting to see movement.’

港口執(zhí)行董事吉恩·塞羅卡(Gene Seroka)表示,在轉向大棒之前,當局曾試圖用胡蘿卜誘惑托運人。
“我們嘗試過談判,”他周二告訴CNBC。'我們已經嘗試過協作和運營會議,但目前還沒有任何進展。這是最后的手段,我們并不想采取,但我們需要開始看到行動?!?/b>

About 40 percent of import containers on terminals have been idling for at least nine days, the Port of Long Beach said in a press release.
Before consumer demand exploded in mid-2020, containers would typically sit at terminals for less than four days.
Any money collected from the fees will be put toward programs to help the port work more efficiently and address congestion impacts, the press release said.
‘Our obxtive with this program is not to generate revenue,’ said Los Angeles Harbor Commission president Jaime Lee. ‘Instead, we need our supply chain partners to make operational changes that will reduce dwell times, clear our terminals and make room for the ships waiting to enter our port.’

長灘港在一份新聞稿中說,碼頭上大約 40% 的進口集裝箱已經閑置了至少 9 天。
在 2020 年中期消費者需求激增之前,集裝箱通常會在碼頭停留不到四天。
新聞稿稱,從收費中收取的任何資金都將用于幫助港口更有效地工作和解決擁堵影響的項目。
洛杉磯海港委員會主席杰米·李說:“我們制定這個計劃的目的不是創(chuàng)造收入?!?“相反,我們需要我們的供應鏈合作伙伴進行運營變革,以減少停留時間、清理我們的碼頭并為等待進入我們港口的船只騰出空間。”

Transport secretary Pete Buttigieg said Sunday that the supply chain crisis will continue at least until the COVID-19 pandemic ends amid fears of shortages ahead of the winter holidays.
‘There are definitely going to continue to be issues, especially as long as the pandemic continues,’ Buttigieg told Fox News Sunday.
‘If you have, for example, the third-largest container port in the world in China shutting down because of a COVID outbreak in late summer you'll feel that in the fall here on the West coast.’
He said that while politicians, the ports, and industry executives are taking all the necessary steps to combat the supply crisis, catching up with the backlog will take time - particularly as consumer appetite for imported products grows.
‘…If we really want to see all of these disruptions end, we’ve got to end the pandemic, he said. That’s what getting everybody vaccinated is all about.’

交通部長皮特·布蒂吉格 (Pete Buttigieg) 周日表示,由于擔心寒假前出現短缺,供應鏈危機將至少持續(xù)到 COVID-19 大流行結束。
布蒂吉格周日對福克斯新聞說:“肯定會繼續(xù)存在問題,特別是只要大流行繼續(xù)存在?!?br /> “例如,如果世界上第三大集裝箱港口中國(譯注:深圳)在夏末因 COVID 爆發(fā)而關閉,你會在秋天的西海岸感受到這一點?!?br /> 他表示,雖然政界人士、港口和行業(yè)高管正在采取一切必要措施應對供應危機,但要趕上積壓的訂單需要時間——尤其是隨著消費者對進口產品的需求不斷增長。
'......如果我們真的想看到所有這些中斷結束,我們必須結束大流行,他說。這就是讓每個人都接種疫苗的全部意義所在。
