A clear example is the March 2021 blocking of the Suez Canal by the container ship Ever Given. The grounded ship physically stopped traffic through one of the world’s busiest maritime chokepoints for six days, preventing hundreds of ships from passing, forcing some to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope (adding days to weeks and substantial fuel cost), and causing large delays, higher shipping costs and supply-chain disruptions worldwide.
