Richard Meade at Lloyd’s List: “This health emergency has paralysed ports, it has disrupted schedules across all sectors, led to serious challenges for crew management, and prompted a round of container services to be withdrawn, with lines now forecasting issues well into the
second quarter of the year. It has thrown the global gas market into turmoil”. He told me Lloyd’s is getting reports of ships floating round Asia unable to dock at port after port, and running out of food.
