All those ships are still burning fuel.
Who is gonna refill them?
More gas boats running fuel?
For anyone thinking this is just about packages not getting delivered, or what is currently on the cargo ships, they got another thing coming. Everything is intricately connected. One tony gear slips and the whole thing breaks down.
On top of that, a bunch of trucks are going to have to make under-weight deliveries. They just can't sit idle waiting for the shipping containers to get their full shipment in. So they are gonna have to pick up every odd-job to continue making a living wage. That's a lot of semis running back and forward burning more fuel than a van while carrying only as much as a van could.
Once the price of gas and truck shipments go up, everything's price goes up.

We're looking at a potential global collapse.

The ones off the coast, in deeper waters, might not have anchors long enough. Those are still moving on the radar, going in circles.
