Will be the first problem addressed because of the affect on the economy, not just locally, every day that port is closed is a major situation for the global market.

It will be several weeks as investigations have to take place as the clean up goes on. It's a mess of epic proportion.

Look how long it takes just to get the equipment needed to be put in place.
