shipping delays

Some major Chinese ports are closed, due to not enough staff to get things done, so many ships cant even get loaded up, you better do your X mas shopping in due time this year, otherwise you too will end up looking like a ass.

The UK boys also have their problems in land, after Brexit there is a shortage of around 25.000 truckers, so keeping gas stations topped up and store shelves full are somewhat of a problem now. in my country just to the east of the UK most truckers here you also have to engage in a language not Danish, even if the EU gang should have rules preventing truckers camping out in other countries, and these guys are severe underpaid guys and outside companies but even creep Danish trucker companies will have Asian truckers living in a trailer in winter,,,,,,, this is a huge embarrassment for a person like me who like to think his and his countries sh.. is in order..

The Brexit people also ought to be red in the face if they did not see this coming.
 
Yes, it seems to have been that way for a while now, with ships anchored off shore waiting to be unloaded, and SeaTrain containers sitting dockside waiting to be shipped to their ultimate destination.

Sure is nice though when one of those containers occasionally gets delivered, and a shop suddenly has a boatload of pellets or some new guns in stock. But tough on the wallet when that happens!
 
Also a shortage of shipping containers, they are all sitting on the decks of ships waiting in the harbor. There was a report on TV just the other night, thousands of ships sitting off California and almost that many off the east coast. Docks are full of containers waiting for distribution but no truckers or not enough truckers to deliver the containers!!! No room to unload any more ships....and so on... Many of the empty containers are being used as temporary housing for illegal immigrants comming into US. Of course they cant throw them out, so more container space being waisted!! Worse part about all this is the govt has no clue how to correct this problem!!!
