90 Days China-US Window: Can LA/Long Beach Handle the Surge?

In this episode of The Freight Buyers' Club, host Mike King speaks with Dr. Noel Hacegaba, Chief Operating Officer at the Port of Long Beach, about a potential game-changer in global trade: a 90-day pause in US-China tariffs. With blank sailings still biting and cargo volumes recently in freefall, Dr. Hacegaba explains why optimism is returning — and how the port is preparing for a possible early peak season driven by shippers scrambling to front-load goods. Expect insight on: The impact of China accounting for 60% of Long Beach’s volumes How close the port came to a 30% YOY drop The trickle-down effect on dock workers, truckers, and the local economy Whether the supply chain is finally ready for a no-drama surge A sharp, inside look at what the US-China détente could mean for global logistics.
