Ngaphansi komthelela wobhadane olusha lomqhele pneumonia, ububi bezingqalasizinda zetheku eliya emuva buveziwe, kanti imboni yezokuthunyelwa emhlabeni wonke ibhekene nengwadla yayo enkulu eminyakeni engama-65. Njengamanje kunabathengisi bezimpahla abangaphezu kwama-350 emhlabeni abagcwele emachwebeni, okudala ukubambezeleka kokulethwa nokwenyuka kwamanani ezimpahla.

Ngokuya ngemininingwane yakamuva evela kupulatifomu yesiginali yeTheku laseLos Angeles ngomhla ka-16, njengamanje kunemikhumbi engu-22 yemikhumbi elinde esikhumulweni seSouthern California, yimikhumbi engu-9 elinde ngaphandle kwetheku, kanye nenani eliphelele lemikhumbi elindile efinyelela ku-31. imikhumbi kufanele ilinde okungenani izinsuku eziyi-12 ukuze ime. Gxilisa futhi wehlise umthwalo emkhunjini, bese ubayisa ezimbonini, ezinqolobaneni nasezitolo kulo lonke elase-United States.

Ngokwemininingwane ye-AIS yeVessels Value, kunemikhumbi engama-50 yemikhumbi eboshwe eduze kwaseNingbo-Zhoushan Port.
Ngokuya ngemininingwane yakamuva yangomhla zili-16 kwepulatifomu yokuqapha imikhumbi i-Seaexplorer yaseJalimane, njengoba amachweba amaningi kuwo wonke amazwekazi ebhekene nokuphazamiseka kokusebenza, njengamanje kunabathengisi bezindiza abangama-346 ababhajwe ngaphandle kwamachweba emhlabeni, okuyinani eliphindwe kabili kunalelo ekuqaleni konyaka. Izinkinga zokuthumela zadala ukushoda kwesitoko nokubambezeleka kokulethwa. Lapho imikhumbi iminyaniswa olwandle, kwaba nokushoda kancane kancane kwezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zezinto ezisogwini, okwenza amanani anyuke. Lesi simo sibonakale ngokusobala “ekuphathweni kwe-e-commerce” ngesikhathi sobhadane.

Ngasikhathi sinye, ukuminyana kwamachweba e-Asia, eYurophu nase-United States kuziphazamise kakhulu izinsizakalo zenethiwekhi. Njengoba imikhumbi imiswe kumahange alinde ukulayisha nokulayisha umthwalo, umthamo otholakalayo uyancipha.

Enye yezimbangela ezinkulu zesiminyaminya sezimpahla zomhlaba wukulawulwa kwemingcele yamazwe ahlukahlukene ngesikhathi sobhadane nokuvalwa okuphoqelelwe kwamafemu amaningi, okubeka engozini ubushelelezi bayo yonke into ethengiswayo futhi kubangele namanani ezimpahla zemizila emikhulu yezokuthutha zasolwandle ukuba ande. Ngenxa yokushoda kweziqukathi eziminyene echwebeni lolwandle, izinga lezimpahla zemikhumbi yamabhontjisi liyaqhubeka nokukhuphuka. Izinga lezimpahla ezisuka eChina lize liye e-United States cishe zingama-US $ 20,000 nge-FEU (ikhonteyina engamamitha angu-40), kanti isilinganiso sezimpahla ezisuka eChina ziye eYurophu ziphakathi kuka-US $ 12,000 no-US $ 16,000.

Ochwepheshe kule mboni bakholelwa ukuthi imizila yaseYurophu ifinyelele umkhawulo wokubekezelela abathumeli, futhi isikhala silinganiselwe. Imizila yaseNyakatho Melika kulindeleke ukuthi iqhubeke nokukhuphuka ngenxa yesidingo esikhulu esiqhubekayo nokuntuleka kweziqukathi nezikhala. Njengoba inkinga yepulagi yetheku ingaba nzima ukuyinciphisa kwikota yesine, izinga eliphezulu lezimpahla kulindeleke ukuthi liqhubeke kuze kube unyaka ozayo ngaphambi konyaka omusha waseChina.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, inkinga esekunesikhathi inganele yokuhlinzeka ngezinsiza ezanele zengqalasizinda yetheku nayo iveziwe. Ngaphambi kokuqhamuka kwalesi sifo, amachweba ayengaphansi kwengcindezi yokuthuthukisa ingqalasizinda yawo, njengokusebenza okuzenzakalelayo, ukuhanjiswa kwempahla okwenziwe ngamakhemikhali, nokwakhiwa kwezikhungo ezikwazi ukubhekana nemikhumbi emikhulu nemikhulu.

Ama-ejensi afanele athi itheku lidinga ukutshalwa kwezimali ngokushesha. Ngonyaka odlule, ingqalasizinda yetheku ikhungathekile.
USoren Toft, oyi-CEO yeMSC, okuyinkampani yesibili ngobukhulu emhlabeni yokuthumela izitsha, uthe izinkinga zakule mboni azivelanga ngobusuku obubodwa.

Emashumini ambalwa edlule, ukuze kwehliswe izindleko zokuhamba ngamanani ezomnotho, abathengisi bezimpahla baye baba bakhulu futhi baba baningi, futhi kudingeka namachweba ajulile kanye nama-cranes amakhulu. Ukuthatha i-crane entsha njengesibonelo, kuthatha izinyanga eziyi-18 kusuka ku-oda ukufakwa. Ngakho-ke, kunzima ukuthi itheku liphendule ngokushesha kuzinguquko ezidingekayo.

UMooney, iphini lomqondisi woMnyango Wezasolwandle Nezokuhweba we-IHS Markit, ukholelwa ukuthi amanye amachweba kungenzeka ukuthi kudala "abengaphansi kwezinga" futhi awakwazi ukwamukela imikhumbi emikhulu emikhulu. Izimakethe ezisakhasayo ezinjengeBangladesh kanye nePhilippines bezilokhu zinokuminyana kwetheku ngaphambi kwalolu bhubhane. UMooney uthe ukuthuthuka kwengqalasizinda kungaxazulula kuphela ezinye zezinkinga, kanti nalolu bhubhane luphakamisa nesidingo sokuqinisa ukuhlangana, ukushintshaniswa kolwazi kanye nokufakwa kwedijithali kohlelo lokuphakela jikelele.
