Paul Solman:

Pre-COVID, ships rarely anchored offshore. Now they're commonplace, many dozens of them, loaded with thousands of containers per ship, each capable of holding as many as 800 artificial Christmas trees, 7, 500 Santa suits.

But there's simply no room to dock, given the record cargo coming in each month.

Gene Seroka, Executive Director, Port of Los Angeles: More than 900,000 container units, on average, have been coming through this port since July of last year.
