//The diversion adds about 6,000 nautical miles to a typical journey from Asia to Europe, potentially adding three or four weeks to product delivery times.

 

The Houthi rebels, who are aligned with Iran, have said they attacked ships in response to Israel’s bombardment of Gaza. The US said on Tuesday it would try to lead a naval coalition to protect shipping in the Suez canal.//

Frustration for my son as well. He drives HGV Container lorrys out of Southampton docks to venues all over England. For the last year or so he is lucky to get three days work a week due to ongoing world turmoil
