Selokhu kwaqubuka lolu bhubhane, imigqa emide yemikhumbi elinde izindawo zokulala ngaphandle kwetheku lase-Los Angeles kanye nechweba laseLong Beach, amachweba amabili amakhulu ogwini olusentshonalanga yeNyakatho Melika, bekulokhu kuyinhlekelele ekhombisa inkinga yemikhumbi yomhlaba wonke. Namuhla, ukuminyana kwamachweba amakhulu eYurophu kubonakala kungenzanga mehluko.

Ngokukhula kokusalela emuva kwezimpahla ezingalethiwe echwebeni laseRotterdam, izinkampani zemikhumbi ziphoqeleka ukuba zibeke kuqala amabhokisi okuthutha agcwele impahla. Iziqukathi ezingenalutho, ezibalulekile kubathumeli bangaphandle base-Asia, zibambeke kule ndawo enkulu kunazo zonke e-Europe.

Ichweba laseRotterdam lithe ngoMsombuluko ukuthi ukuminyana kwamagceke okugcina impahla ethekwini laseRotterdam bekuphezulu kakhulu ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule ngoba uhlelo lwemikhumbi ehamba olwandle alusafiki ngesikhathi futhi isikhathi sokuhlala kwamakhonteyna asuka kwamanye amazwe seluliwe. Lesi simo siholele ekutheni isikhumulo semikhumbi sidlulisele ama-container angenalutho endaweni yokubeka impahla kokunye ukuze kwehle isiminyaminya egcekeni.

Ngenxa yesimo esibi sobhubhane e-Asia ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, izinkampani eziningi zemikhumbi ziye zehlisa isibalo semikhumbi esuka ezwenikazi laseYurophu iye e-Asia, okuholele ekutheni kube nentaba yeziqukathi ezingenalutho neziqukathi ezilinde ukuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe emachwebeni amakhulu asenyakatho yeYurophu. . I-China nayo ibhekana nalolu daba ngenkuthalo. Siphinde sibheke ezinye izindlela zokuqinisekisa ukuthuthwa kwezimpahla zamakhasimende okufika ngesikhathi nokuphephile.
