The prolonged closure has already caused considerable disruptions, affecting supply chains, businesses, and consumers alike, and any further delay could impact the availability of certain items in the run-up to Christmas.
I had a long conversation with one of the carriers who has a very mixed bag of goods, coming in and out, and they said it was a bit of everything.
From a supply-chain point of view, items that are needed in production are all stuck. It's a double whammy for the export industry as the trailers are not available to go back out.
A situation such as this underlines the importance of having multiple routes and cargo options to ensure smoother and uninterrupted trade.
