Title: any shipping news?
Post by: ugly_90 on March 25, 2021, 09:09 PM
A fairly large container ship is jammed badly in the Suez canal right now, with lots of ships behind it.

As it blocks a strategic location on the shortest route from Asia to Europe, might Britpart supply be affected on some restock parts? Lots of seacans on that one ship alone.

This would only affect Britpart orders that are huge and going to the west coast.   Most orders come over by FDX/DHL/UPS.     But I'd hate to think how much $$$ is being lost daily with the canal closed.    When they tried closing the canal in the 60's it almost started a war.   ::)

Couple of Defenders and a good recovery rope they could square up that ship and get it going by tea time
