Chop is fine. Trust me. Chop is fine. Is chop fine, Captain Ted?

If you are like us, you are probably wondering when this covid19 pandemic influenced global shipping crisis is coming to an end? Just like the virus, skyrocketing shipping costs, shipping delays and supply chain headaches keep coming at all of us harder and faster with each and every year.
I wish like Captain Ted in the movie, I could reassure you all it will be fine in 2022 but like you I don't want to see your ship or our ship go down under the weight and cost of sky high sea-freight shipping costs and lengthy supply chain delays.
So, we reached out to people who know a lot more about the dynamics of global shipping right now thank you - DHL and TOLL to share some forecasts and in short here they are...
- Things will get worse before they get better
- Unlikely to be any relief in sea-freight prices and we will see more lengthy delays in transit times in 2022
- Will be mid 2023 earliest before we see some easing on sea-freight rates
- Sea Freight rates will not return to pre-pandemic levels
- We all have to sail through some more choppy seas before calmer waters return
