Eleven Shins Idle as SUP Strike Closes Long Beach Harbor
Eleven ships remain idle at berths in the Long Beach Harbor due to the AFL Sailors Union of the Pacific strike against the Pacific Maritime Association. Two more were idled yesterday, the Santa Elena and Hawaiian Lumberman, as they arrived to unload. The F. E. Weyerhaeuser had been picketed but unloading proceeded before picketing may resume. Other ships affected include the Belgium Victory, Sierra, P&T Voyager, P&T Seafarer, Hawaiian Rancher, Oregon, Montana, and Jeremiah Black. The SUP rejected Hawaii Governor Long’s request to release Matson Line ships to carry necessities. The governor’s committee warns of higher food prices in Hawaii unless relief ships sail, with rice costs forecast to rise.
