This is largely a pandemic-driven set of issues, so the surest way to deal with it is to end the pandemic, which is why we have this vaccination campaign and everything else we\u2019re doing. That\u2019s the first part.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe second part, of course, is that we can\u2019t wait,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo, there are immediate actions like what\u2019s in the president\u2019s port action plan. We\u2019re seeing sweeper ships going around to pick up empty containers that are getting in the way \u2014 really creative ideas like pop-up ports that are actually inland in Georgia so you can move the containers out of where they might be blocking the path for more ships to unload and sorting them out further inland. Even fines and fees for those shippers who are leaving their containers out, which is contributing to the slowdowns and the issues. Then, we\u2019ve got the long-term picture. We\u2019ve got to invest in a big way in American ports and infrastructure, which is why this bipartisan infrastructure deal that just passed Congress is such a big deal. So, that\u2019s how I would think about it, the immediate and the long term, and we\u2019re working on both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker&nbsp;on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Friday continued to emphasize the importance of ending the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to fix the supply chain issues around the United States.
