Naperville, IL — As a shipping center in Naperville, IL, The Boxes Etc. keeps a close eye on changes and trends in the industry and informs their community of any important news. With that said, The Boxes Etc. is explaining the effects of the Russia-Ukraine war on the shipping industry.
Unfortunately, the Russia-Ukraine war has caused much disruption in the shipping world, as the supply chain has taken a lot of damage: shipping routes are being cut off by Russian forces, logistics firms are pausing their services, and air freight rates have risen immensely.
Keelvar is a supply chain software platform, and Dylan Alperin serves as their head of professional services. Earlier this month, Alperin told CNBC that the closure of one of the few access points available to ocean trade in Ukraine “has created a heavy buildup of vessels waiting to get through the Kerch Strait. With 70% of Ukraine’s exports distributed via ship, the congestion is worsening by the hour.”
In addition, CEO of ContainerxChange, Christian Roeloffs states: “Parts of the Black Sea and Sea of Azov are now dangerous or unpassable. There have been missile attacks on vessels and ship arrests and lane closures for commercial shipping.”
Another factor that increases this lack of access is the limited air capacity, as airlines have been greatly discouraged from flying over Russian airspace. This, along with the increasing oil prices is creating a spike in shipping rates.
While this news can be difficult and discouraging to hear, The Boxes Etc. is remaining positive and working hard as ever to take the stress away from customers and make their pack and ship process as smooth as possible!
