Supply Chain Disruptions from Sandy-PLEASE REPORT- NY, NJ, CT, PA,

Waterlily. Nice find on the Food. I'm just waking up here in the Rockies and gathering the NY Harbor Movement.

NY HARBOR UPDATE

We have 4 newly landed Container Ships.

Brooklyn AC...You should be able to see the DUNCAN ISLAND at the Red Hook Container Terminal in Brooklyn. At least one Slip is now open of 9. It is a relatively small ship

I am only going to record newly docked ships from here as there is a lot more movement and it looks like the were working most of the night.

4 New Container ships = 18,156 TEUs at best

Interesting Development with Tankers. I am listening to the Harbor Traffic Radio and what they are trying to do is use Small barges to unload from the Large Tankers.

There seem to be 3 of these smaller barges working at the moment. Also the SCOTTY SKY is headint to the JFK Docks.

This had been announced like a week ago now. Finally starting.

QUEEN EXPRESS appears to be almost unloaded but only 60,000 barrels.

TRAINS ARE STILL CUT OFF. We are on Day 11 for the trains

RAIL UPDATE

It does seem like the Rails are a greater issue on the Exporting from NY HARBOR than on the Import so it will be interesting to see how that unfolds elsewhere in the Country.

23% of Chinese imports come through NY Harbor.

From the US Energy Information Administration


"Of the stations sampled, 76% (up from 73% yesterday) had gasoline available for sale. None reported they were not selling gasoline because they had no power."

[link to www.eia.gov]

So NYC as a whole is down 24% at the moment. They are giving daily updates as we can see and a great chart.

Interesting that they are reporting all the way through NY STATE. This will be interesting to watch from here on out.

Morning OP!

Good links, thank you! ! Where can we listen to the Harbor Traffic Radio?

A good Summation of Gas

“This is like crack. Liquid crack,” said Randy Rosen, 40, of Coney Island, an elevator company driver who had been waiting at the BP station on 10th Ave. and W. 36th St. for two hours Monday. “They’re saying two more hours for the truck to arrive.”

More from that

“There is plenty of gas,” said Tom Kloza, chief analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. “It is just a logistical challenge.”

Good catch!

Thanks to the EIA! You can definitely see the Pain on LI.

They have a checkbox for Post Sandy Damage and it is new Satelite Images. Finally some images of the Docks. Many actually do not seem to be bad, at least from above.

The ones that do look bad are Linden and Perth Amboy, NJ. There is no telling whether the Tanker Docks, which are the really thin curved ones are damaged though. Salt water corroding the hookups, etc.

restoration of service,,, all say Nov9, 11:59 pm. They seem awfully sure of themselves...

Ok so it is just trickling in down there but at least it is getting in. good stuff

I missed an Oil Tanker that has docked at Kinder Morgan Terminals in NJ.

ISOLA BIANCA Has Docked and is unloading.

At best is carrying 14,910,000 gallons of GOO.

This is the first large tanker to dock since Pre Sandy.

ISOLA BIANCA

Arrival

NEW YORK

It keeps disappearing and reappearing on the map so here is the Itinerary Sheet.

guess we will have to see what this storm does to things. Expecting 40-50mph winds again in the same areas and especially Long Island and Jersey Shore.

Trains are still cut off

Coast Guard has issued its warning for the coming Nor'Easter but no Condition "Zulu" yet.


I know everyone is focused on the election and everything but I will at least give an end of day report on the NY HARBOR/Trains, etc.

Go Vote everyone.

Thanks for the update on Philly ||||||||

For those who were hoping. The election has NOT changed the Train status.

Trains still CUT OFF

[link to shipcsx.com]

[link to www.nscorp.com]

This is now day 11 with no train deliveries or pickups at NY Harbor and the Nor'Easter is now on top of the area Snow is falling in New Jersey

[link to www.weather.com]

NY HARBOR UPDATE:


7 Container Ships have Docked overnight with 2 Docking at New York COntainer Terminal on Staten Island, which is freshly opened.

Total MAX TEUs overnight: 24,735

Total TEUs AT BEST since reopen: 140,811

That is still short of what the average daily sum would be for the 10 days since the port closed. Also assuming that all ships were full and unloaded all cargo which is not likely. We were short about 140,000 TEUs when the first docks reopened.

No new Oil tankers have Docked at the moment unless they have disappeared from the Map.

This is a good site for opinions on the tanker industry
[link to www.poten.com]
There is a good summary for the situation on 2 november for the oil supply in the whole area. The gasoline stocks are down to 5year minimum and are less than 50 MB (miliion barels?) This was enough for 16.5 days starting from 2 november.

Does somebody knows in which way the supply in middle long term will be affected? I read several articles mentioning problems for super Friday and the holiday season.

That is an excellent find. Thank you so much. It does verify what we have been covering here for a week now.

In an earlier post from yesterday I guessed that incoming supply at this point is in theory down about 40% for the area. My personal opinion is that it will be wavy, so some days will be bad and the next day pretty good at the pumps. But there will be a delay becaus of the existing supply. Maybe 1 or 2 week delay and then supply will start to get thin, prices rise, long lines etc.

I don't know how much of an area will be affected either.

Long term it will recover but I think we are looking well through Thanksgiving of abnormal supply, lines and rationing. Especially with this new storm coming in with the potential to knock out power again in many areas including the ports.

I just hope we do not see this with Food as the trains are down still and docks are not fully operational throughout the Port of NY/NJ.

Certainly anyone can give their opinions and observatiosn here.

Philly looks like it will get the most snow of the Two Ports. Somewhere between 3"-8"

That is where most all of the Oil from Tankers is being unloaded.

Will see if the power goes out down there.

Keep us posted ||||||| and stay warm.

On the local level, my enterprising bodega owner opened day one after Sandy and stayed open.....he has no power but had new stuff to sell every day....his wife and relatives were sent out thru out the area to source out goods for the store...he made a ton of money while providing a service to the neighborhood without price gouging....he was even able to get a generator for a family with a sick handicapped girl....


He tolded me the advantage he has over the other closed businesses is he's a Middle Easterer.....this is normal business there to get goods....have to be a good trader and scrounger.....

Very interesting. Stick to that store. I am not very old but I still remember when many stores were like that. Now so many stores are corporate franchises that they never need those skills or learned them.

Yo OP!

Just started raining/sleeting in Brooklyn. Gonna be a rough ride, methinks.

Tremendous amount of cargo trucks heading towards 278 (gawanus expressway) right now. Bumper to bumper...first time i've seen trucks since the storm. Someone must have been able to unload.

Also lots of private cars now leaving south side of Brooklyn...no surprise there....
