Hahaha, thats pretty sick actually. I didnt know the only route from the pacific to the mediterranean sea was through a super slim canal like that. I have heard of port blockades causing entire trade routes to be closed, but this, just funny.

just because of strong winds that change the ship direction and create the situation.

Reading about it after the fact, it's impressive what damage one ship did. Over $53 billion was lost, based just on shipments that were delayed or halted.

Due to delayed containers, the majority of orders were placed on backorder until further notice.
