West coast ports return to full operation

West Coast shipping companies and dockworkers have reached a tentative 5-year contract agreement, ending months of protracted negotiations that caused a major backup in imports and exports.

Friday’s deal calls for ports to return to full operations as of Saturday evening.

I don't know how this deal will affect the east coast as I haven't read deep into the details but hopefully those of us who are cruising out of Long Beach and San Francisco can now enjoy an uneventful embarkation at our ports.

Good to know. :)
