"The time it takes for the importer to pick up their cargo at the port is now over four days, but it's off its high of five days sitting under dwell," Seroka said, adding there's been progress in other metrics, too.

Containers are seen on a shipping dock, as the global outbreak of the coronavirus disease continues, in the Port of Los Angeles, California, April 16, 2020.However, Seroka said he would like to see the improvements accelerate because it won't be long before traditionally higher volume periods roll around.
