To avert an ongoing cycle of congestion in the longer term, The US Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA), in a recent letter to President Joe Biden, suggested targeted investment for infrastructure modernisation, addressing systemic operational challenges in major US ports and enabling data sharing and interoperability to facilitate end-to-end visibility.

The letter offered short-term and long-term recommendations for additional actions the administration should take to further alleviate existing bottlenecks in US supply chains, RILA said.

“As primary users of ports and freight infrastructure, shippers should play a role in helping determine effective targeting of funds. The administration should also continue to strengthen protections for American importers and exporters and bolster the Federal Maritime Commission’s work providing oversight of foreign-owned ocean carriers, alliances, and terminal operators--sending the message that fair and open supply chains are essential to the American economy,” the letter said.

President Biden met retailers late last month to discuss the outlook for holiday shopping amidst the supply chain disruptions.
