He’ll discuss West Coast container trade prospects with the expanded Panama Canal in operation for over a year now, and the further consolidation of container shipping lines. He’ll discuss freight transportation factors affecting Southern California container trade, especially for the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach near the end of the 2017 peak season.
