FedEx Logistics has chartered three small to medium sized vessels to transport containers from the Port of Humen in China to dock and unload at the Port of Hueneme on the Pacific coast, sixty miles north of the Long Beach port complex. This port normally handles automobiles and containerized produce from Latin America.

The chartered vessels each carry approximately 300 containers filled with goods for the eastbound trans-Pacific journey.  The 53-foot containers manufactured in China will be retained in the U.S. since they are intended for double-stacked rail transport within North America.

FedEx Logistics is a participant in the White House Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force finding innovative solutions to avert port congestion.
