Hayward Thomas reports at the Long Beach Los Angeles Harbor chapter that cargo handling has become costlier over 25 years as efficiency gains from electric winches and wider wharves lag. He cites 1921 productivity of 37 percent tons per gang per hour versus current 10 tons, with costs rising from 1.15–1.65 to over 3 dollars per ton. Innovations include sliding wing decks and steel-container unitization, yielding material, time, and insurance savings. containers are already in use at Long Beach, with plans for direct side-port cargo transfer to and from ships.
