When are backed up on one of the world's busiest waterways, he says , it 's not without consequences for global trade. The freighter was freed after just under a week, but by then had caused billions in damage .

Heine: " Freight from inland ports has to arrive precisely at the transshipment points in order to be shipped directly from there." This increases the pressure on road and rail in particular, because trucks and trains take over the storage of the freight. Delays or holdups at sea are not uncommon, he But the punctuality rate of the ships was only 30 percent even before the blockade At this point in time, it is not possible to predict exactly what repercussions the accident in the Suez Canal will have . The full extent of the damage will apparent in a few weeks .
