Turnaround times for container ships at the largest ports on the West Coast have returned to normal after a month of costly congestion and delays, according to official monitors, as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

However, some terminal yards still are jammed with containers due to equipment and labor shortages, which are causing delays in moving cargo to customers, the paper reports.

About 200 transpacific vessels were stranded outside ports from San Diego to Seattle during a nearly two-week employer lockout, which was ended by a federal injunction Oct. 9. A federal mediator is calling both sides back to the bargaining table Wednesday after a weeklong break from negotiations.
