As the U.S. faces a potential strike at major East Coast and Gulf ports, the ripple effects on global supply chains could hit European countries hard. These regions, including Ukraine, are deeply integrated into global trade and rely on transatlantic routes, especially when the situation in the Red Sea remains unresolved.
This will lead to delays and congestion; rerouting shipments to congested U.S. West Coast ports will cause longer delays in Baltic and Black Sea ports, disrupting Ukrainian logistics, particularly through key hubs in Poland – Gdynia and Gdansk ports – and in Romania’s Constanta port.
As a consequence, higher container shipping rates are likely, driven by a shortage of containers and the cost of alternative transport methods. Importers and exporters, in particular, may see shrinking margins due to rising transport prices.
For Ukraine, which continues to face a series of geopolitical challenges, this disruption could result in delays, higher costs, and uncertainty in supply chains.
Most likely, some traders will have to change their logistics strategy and replace shipments from Ukraine in containers by choosing Truck Flexitanks.
