Major shipping ports across the United States and the United Kingdom are clogged, threatening to further disrupt the global supply chain and according to the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) if the situation persists then there may be shortages of certain commodities.
During a telephone interview with the Stabroek News yesterday, GCCI’s Presi-dent Timothy Tucker said that while some businesses are already reporting long shipping delays, the situation has not yet escalated.
“We would be concerned if the delays worldwide continue then there might be shortages because of that (delay). We basically are going to have a fair idea of if there are going to be any (extended) delays and what the supplies would be like by the second week in November,” Tucker explained.
