Freighter backlog worsens outside major West Coast ports
By
Noel Randewich SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Growing numbers of freighters
were backed up around the two busiest U.S. cargo hubs on Sunday because
of a dispute between shipping companies and dockworkers that has led to a
partial shutdown of ports along the West Coast. With cargo delays
rippling through the U.S. economy, Japanese carmaker Honda Motor Co Ltd
said it planned to slow production at some of its North American plants
starting on Monday because of a lack of parts from Asia. Under pressure
to address the months-long strife, President Barack Obama on Saturday
dispatched U.S. Labor Secretary Tom Perez to California to help broker
an agreement. By Sunday morning, 34 container ships, tankers and other
cargo vessels were waiting to dock at the ports of Los Angeles and Long
Beach, California, up from 32 on Saturday, said Lee Peterson, a
spokesman for the port of Long Beach.Read More ...

Draft U.S. rules on commercial drones keep some limits
By
Alwyn Scott NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. aviation regulator proposed
rules on Sunday for commercial drone flights that would lift some
restrictions but would still bar activities such as the delivery of
packages and inspection of pipelines that have been eyed by companies as
a potentially breakthrough use of the technology. The long-awaited
draft rules from the Federal Aviation Administration would require
unmanned aircraft pilots to obtain special pilot certificates, stay away
from bystanders and fly only during the day. The rules also say pilots
must remain in the line of sight of its radio-control drone, which could
limit inspection of pipelines, crops, and electrical towers that are
one of the major uses envisioned by companies. "This rule does not deal
with beyond line of sight, but does allow for the use of a visual
observer to augment line of sight by the operator of the unmanned
aircraft," FAA Administrator Michael Huerta said in a conference call
with reporters on Sunday.Read More ...
