This is just crazy. There are no chassis to move the containers. It's not like companies are like "yeah, just hang on to it for us", there's simply no way of moving any meaningful amount out of the ports. /r/supplychain and /r/prepperintel have thread after thread about this. Also, these cumulative fines aren't going to do much to move the containers any faster but that $100 fine the first day, $200 more the second day, $300 more the third day... are just going to rapidly bankrupt companies.
I personally work in the air side of international freight, I think I'm on week 28 or 29 of 60-70 hour weeks. I'm working 6 days a week, 11~ hours a day, and even the air industry is starting to get behind - and we're not even to peak yet, normally this is the calm before the storm, so I can only imagine what sort of logistical hell we're going to see in November and December.
