COVID-19 has caused multiple disruptions of global supply chains which in turn has impacted the shipping market. Over 90% of world trade is seaborne, and China is home to seven of the ten busiest container ports. The closure of the world’s manufacturing hub impacts shipping as it’s the driver of Asian and global supply chains, affecting industries and limiting the demand for seaborne transport. Our reporters and analysts examine how measures aimed at stopping the spread of the novel strain may affect shipping.
