Abstract:

The temporary blockage of the Suez Canal by the grounded container ship Ever Given affects cargo movement well beyond the Mediterranean and Red Seas. As of 9 PM (UTC +2), Monday, March 29, the goods on the 51 container ships that awaited canal access are delayed getting to the businesses and people who need them. Of those, 25 are coming from or going to ports here in the United States. Combined, the 25 ships have the capacity to carry more than 217,400 TEUs, and that is a lot of delayed cargo.
