West Coast Port Disruptions Cause Concern for Residents and Businesses.
TL;DR
Labor issues have caused some shipping ports on the West Coast to close, leading to rumors of shipping delays and panic buying in Hawaii. While some shipments have been delayed, officials say there is no need to panic at this time. However, neighbor islands may be most impacted by shipment delays, especially for fresh products which might cost much more to fly in, instead of by ship.
