Global Supply Chains Disrupted

Because of the pandemic, global supply chains are showing massive dislocations in the container market, shipping routes, ports, air cargo, trucking lines and railways. The result has created shortages of key manufacturing components, order backlogs, delivery delays and a spike in transportation costs and consumer prices.

Product shortages are now being exacerbated by rational reactions to recent events such as the Suez Canal ship event or even the recent shipping container in Los Angeles that couldn’t be unloaded because too many dock workers were in quarantine. Because of the pandemic, fear is driving consumers and businesses to order more and earlier than previously needed. This is reinforcing the pressure on factories, warehouses, ships and trucks.

Our T11 ISO Tank containers which are designed for the transportation and storage of food grade, hazardous and non-hazardous cargo, are flexible options to ease the supply chain pressures encountered during the pandemic.
