Nearly 160 ships on Friday are reportedly waiting outside Long Beach and Los Angeles port complex to unload goods, Bloomberg reported.

The backlog of cargo ships outside the complex, which receives about 40 percent of the containers from around the world, is likely a main driver in President Biden’s supply chain crisis. The supply chain crisis has fueled price increases in nearly every sector of the economy for American families and workers.

Of the nearly 160 ships waiting to dock and offload cargo, Marine Exchange estimates 102 vessels are containers ships waiting to move cargo onto the docks, including 76 ships that are anchored or loitering outside the bay.
