Around 70 cargo ships are queuing outside two of the biggest ports in the US due to the increasing demand for imported goods.
The vessels carrying thousands of containers are being forced to wait for a berthing place at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in California, which together manage around 40% of all cargo ships entering the US.
