The supply chain for many small parcel shipping companies is typically long. Products are often made in distant lands, travel on oceans and waterways, arrive at ports, are then transported to warehouses, from where a third-party logistics provider delivers the product to its intended destination. In a stable world, shippers and customers alike can expect a product to be delivered within the promised time window. However, in a world facing high levels of uncertainty caused by war, pandemic, political instability, raw material shortages, freak accidents (recall the regional and national impact of the bridge collapse in the Port of Baltimore caused by a container ship), and weather, the shipper must work overtime to ensure customer expectations are met at no additional cost, despite these uncertainties.

It was a disaster in slow motion. On the night of March 26, as various surveillance cameras passively watched, the massive container ship Dali lost power for as-yet-unexplained reasons and plowed into one of the support structures of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland — a major artery in and out of the Port of Baltimore. The bridge never stood a chance against a container ship of that size. It collapsed like it was made of matchsticks.
