Even just Maersk could have huge consequences. Some of their ships have capacities of more than 10,000 containers, that's a lot of goods which may not be unloaded for the time being. Many supply chains will be quite sensitive to a delay like this and it could have very visible knock-on effects.

A delay of a day is probably already enough to cause congestion in ports with further delays down the road.

Yep, I am surprised this hasn't happened earlier....
