D’fhéadfadh coinbhleacht sa Rúis agus san Úcráin praghsanna lasta farraige agus aeir a chur ag ardú as cuimse, agus slabhraí soláthair domhanda fós ag spochadh as an bpaindéim.
D’fhéadfadh rátaí lasta farraige a dhúbailt nó a thrí oiread mar gheall ar an gcur isteach, a dúirt Glenn Koepke, bainisteoir ginearálta ar chomhoibriú cíbear ag FourKites, comhairleacht slabhra soláthair. D’fhéadfadh go n-ardóidh rátaí lasta ó 10,000 go 30,000 in aghaidh an choimeádáin 40-troigh, agus d’fhéadfadh rátaí lastais aeir léim níos airde fós, a dúirt Kepke in agallamh leis an New York Times.
Ocean freight rates have hit record highs since the outbreak began. Kepke warned that the war could be another blow to global supply chains. He noted that while the shipping industry has not yet reached peak season, "companies are preparing for summer business volumes that will have a significant impact on our supply chain."
Chuir ionradh na Rúise isteach go mór ar lastóirí a thrasnaíonn an Mhuir Dhubh, príomhbhealach le haghaidh onnmhairí ola agus bia mórchóir. Cuireadh sliogán nó coimeádadh roinnt long ó Déardaoin.
Ar an Luan, chuir an Bhreatain cosc ar longa na Rúise go léir dul isteach ina calafoirt. Idir an dá linn, dúirt feidhmeannaigh loingseoireachta agus oifigigh calafoirt sa Bheilg, san Ísiltír, agus sa Ghearmáin go gcuirfí stop le longa lastais a bhí ag dul go dtí an Rúis agus go ndéanfaí iniúchadh orthu.
Ukraine's largest port was closed on Thursday as the conflict caused many ships to be diverted, adding to congestion at other ports in Europe. As of Monday, more than 200 ships were waiting to pass through the Kerch Strait, according to Lloyd's List. This strait connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
"All of the hubs in northern Europe are already very congested, and any little thing that delays a shipment will exacerbate the problem," Vincent Clark, head of Maersk's shipping and logistics services, told The Wall Street Journal.
On Tuesday, Maersk, one of the world's largest shipping companies, announced it would suspend shipping to and from Russia and Ukraine. The shipping company joined ONE, MSC, and Heberlord in making the decision, a move that will affect at least 47 percent of the world's container shipping.
The decision by shipping leaders to cut off Russian shipping will further hinder the country's ability to send and receive goods, which is already curtailed by Western sanctions.
Bhí roinnt deacrachtaí le sárú ag aerlasta domhanda freisin le linn an ionraidh. Go dtí seo dhún an Rúis a haerspás do 36 tír, rud a chuir iallach ar eitleáin loingseoireachta bealaí nua a aimsiú. Dúirt Chris Rogers, príomh-eacnamaí an tslabhra soláthair ag Flexport, Dé Luain go mbeidh tionchar diúltach ag an gcoimhlint ar acmhainn aeir dhomhanda agus go n-ardóidh sé praghsanna aeir lasta mar go mbeidh ar aerlínte bealaí níos faide a ghlacadh agus níos mó a chaitheamh ar chistí breosla.
Dúirt saineolaithe le Insider roimhe seo go bhféadfaí na costais loingseoireachta breise a chur ar aghaidh chuig tomhaltóirí. D’fhéadfadh an choinbhleacht praghsanna gáis agus bia a ardú ag am a bhfuil an leibhéal is airde bainte amach ag boilsciú SAM ó na 1980idí.
