Operative words
'import cargo volumes dropped precipitously and ocean carriers cut services. And those imports that were delivered contributed to congestion at U.S. ports, particularly on the West Coast, because the import loads that were not being picked up for final delivery due to business shutdowns. The congestion was exacerbated by empty containers waiting to be repositioned.' The Commission 'granted the waiver in April 2020 and later extended it into 2021.'
Enforcement
Notes
The regulator's statement that 'business shutdowns' (the State orders) left import loads uncollected and caused the congestion.
