I live by the Port of Miami and that's not what I'm observing. It's a different ship I see on my daily commute. The ship I see at 9AM isn't the same at 6PM. So I stand by my statement that they move them fast. It might not be the case everywhere, at the busiest ports (in my experience Miami and Savannah) they want you done and out.

- toast0 9y agoThe port probably makes a difference. Ships stopping in Miami may be on a mulitpojt route and not have as many containers to unload and load than in long beach where it's more likely to be a back and forth route between US and (pick an Asian country), in which case essentially all containers on board will be unloaded and others would be loaded.
- yardie 9y agoThis is probably the case. Port Miami is on an tiny island and space is a premium. Ships also bunker. They might be "in port" for many days but they'll be anchored in designated areas. Port charges add up quickly.
