This time thank the large barge..

Walter Schalka, CEO of the Brazilian wood pulp company Suzano SA, told Bloomberg News that the firm was struggling to transport the raw material for toilet paper amid the delays.


The Suez bottleneck comes amid existing shipping container shortages sparked by increasing demand in China and a reduction in supplies, the Express reported.

Lars Jensen, a container shipping expert in Denmark, told the UK’s Mirror the shipment of everyday household items will be affected, including toilet rolls.
Jensen said the blocked ship is another blow to the global shipping system already broken by the pandemic disruption.

“This takes capacity out of a system that is already starving for capacity,” he said, the Sun reported.
