It is impossible to ignore the current global supply chain crisis. While Covid-19 has played a key role in this mess, it is only part of a far larger interconnected set of problems. We examine current shipping dynamics; “too big to sail” structural issues; a brewing political backlash; Cold War icebergs; and the ‘ship of things to come’ if maritime past is a guide to maritime future. In short, while central banks insist inflation is transitory and will fall once supply-chain bottlenecks are resolved, shipping dynamics suggest they are closer to becoming systemically entrenched. Many ports will get caught in this storm if so.
