It is worth noting that, according to a study released in recent days by Antaq, the number of boxship calls in Brazil was directly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic and associated logistical problems, such as the lack of containers.
Among the main problems caused by the pandemic in maritime transport pointed out by the Antaq study are blank sailings (observed in 90% of the terminals); cargo rolling (delay in loading cargo onto ships); lack of containers; freight increase; congestion at terminals; boarding/landing cancellation; suspension of routes/calls; changes to rules and excessive demurrage charges; user selectivity; and changes in lead times.
