Cause it seems like it would take longer for the ship to have to go all the way around the continent.

Car manufacturers usually use different ships for cost savings. If you need 10,000 cars a month it's cheaper to send 5,000 to each coast than 10,000 to one and then ship via truck/train 5,000 across the country.
Subaru uses ports on both coasts for that reason. Neither of which are Long Beach, CA
