Atlantic Coast U.S. Seaports By Matthew Chambers PDFwww.bts.gov
Jacksonville is the only Florida port that can handle significant container traffic. NJ, Charleston, Savannah, and Virginia have larger facilities
Um, the oil spill was in Southern California; San Francisco is 400 miles north of the spill.
No green source of energy has yet spoiled the waters of our oceans and gulfs.
Plenty of idle port infrastructure. I can drive to my nearest harbor and see cranes and berths empty from one end to the other, and blue collar guys homeless because that's all they know how to do. They couldn't become computer programmers. A few million for upgrades and filling in some of the potholes, and happy days are here again.

Exactly....
A deter through the Panama Canal would not be unreasonable or unduly lengthy to break up the
logjam in west coast ports like Tacoma, Oakland, LA, etc.
Southern California has 1.8 billion square feet of warehouse space. I doubt Florida can match that.
No shit sherlock, that's been on the news for days. The fact that you can't discern S. CA. with the SF Bay Area is pure ignorance, and you tried to spin your foolishness is typical of your dishonesty.~~~~~~

A spokesman for shipping firm Hapag-Lloyd says the container ship had nothing to do with the pipeline breach that fouled California beaches.www.usatoday.com
"The investigation continues as authorities clean up the oil. The Unified Command, led by the Coast Guard, said more than 400 crewmembers were in cleanup."
What do you do with the containers?Get American blue collar dock workers out of the bars from drinking themselves to death, and put them back to work, and those ships will be unloaded in 4 days, 24/7.

What do you do with the containers?
Your wiki article is outdated. The Panama Canal locks were recently broadened and lengthened to allow larger ships to pass.There are a few classifications of ship size, based on what pinch points they can navigate.
Cargo ship - Wikipedia
Bring the containers inland a little bit and unload them if you have to. Have them unload at port, and truck them in at night when normal traffic on roads is at a minimum, stage them somewhere and unpack them.
Our entire country is just about all bordering on the ocean, we have so many places they could be unloaded and unpacked there or moved 100 miles inland to be unpacked. There is no logical reason this can't be done.
Honestly I think the government is fucking up the works purely so they can say "ok well the private sector can't handle this and it's effecting the whole country and we're going to create a branch of government for all the countries import and export and we will regulate it and control it for your sake". It's a game to gain control and power.
These ships are too large to go through the Panama Canal so the choices are to take the southern routes, very dangerous, or offload in Columbia and transport across Columbia so the cargo can be reloaded.
Assuming Port of Miami can handle any of these ships, there's only one rail line north and the result would be multi-mile long trans and thousands of trucks line up at the port for loading.
Again, can we not assume that the people who do this for a living have a better grasp of logistics management than some person you met on the internet?
People are so ignorant about size. The oil from that leak would require 4 full days to fill ONE Olympic-sized swimming pool (660,000 gallons).~~~~~~

I wondered how long it would be until we saw something like this.... hilarious.Extra 3-4 days sail time vs having your ships sit idle off the California coast for months.
Once again Democrats scare away major businesses.
“Florida is where your success comes in, and our seaports are the solution to ensure the cargo shipping logjam doesn’t become the Grinch that stole Christmas,” said Michael Rubin, President and CEO of the Florida Ports Council. “Why pay to moor off the coast of California, when Florida shipping lanes are open and serving as the gateway for getting goods to America’s market,” Rubin said in a press release.
Florida to shipping companies: Our ports are open
As California faces shipping logjams, Florida leaders say the Sunshine State is a better way to move goods to the East Coast or even the Midwest.www.wtvy.com
Biden boat parade!I wondered how long it would be until we saw something like this.... hilarious.
Tragic...LOLBiden boat parade!

How many ports on the East Coast can accomodate massive container ships some which are over 1000 ft. long on the Atlantic Ocean in winter, the stormiest time of the year? Do those ports have gantry cranes which can unload containers weighing tons or haven't we thought of that yet?
Yep.....and all of this mess only became a problem after Biden took orifice?40% of US port freight is unloaded in Los Angeles/Long Beach alone.
Businesses have over-ordered.
Warehousing is full.
Florida can't handle what the left coast can.
