The Russia-Ukraine Conflict Caused a Serious Congestion in Central and Northern Europe

The effect of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the container logistics industry is obvious. According to Christian Roeloffs, co-founder and CEO of Container xChange, some areas of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov are in danger. Some ships were attacked by missiles or detained. Trade and container shipments have been stopped around those areas. It's expected that the suspension of shipment around the Black Sea will make the container stacking situation even worse. Besides, many European countries have announced sanctions on Russia and prohibited Russian ships from entering their ports. This terrible war will aggravate the tension in the global container supply chain. At present, ports in central and northern Europe are under serious congestion.
