BIMCO: If EURO2020 was to be decided by shipping-related factors, who would come out on top?
If EURO2020 was to be decided by shipping-related factors, who would come out on top?
The European Football Championship is on the verge –and kicking off on Friday 11 June. Therefore, BIMCO’s shipping number of the week had to be football-infused today. Adding extra topping to this sporting feast is the fact that the 2021 Copa America starts at the same time.
If the result was decided by COVID-19, anything can happen
Several national football teams have already seen the supply of their top footballers disrupted by the pandemic, much like what has hit many shippers ordering containerised goods produced in the Far East for shipments to any destination; the unexpected next move of the pandemic can happen anywhere, any time; disrupting start-up troops on the pitch as well as ports world-wide.
