Write a 700- to 1,050-word summary using the chosen article focused on U.S. seaport activity.

Review the article and focus on seaport infrastructure deficiencies and the impact on capacity or labor relations as it relates to port worker productivity.

Identify why it is important to global logistics effectiveness to improve the current situation, and describe how trade agreements may help reduce product flow interruptions.

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.
