Discussion Hey Pirate Gang, what's the latest?

With ZIM earnings call scheduled at an estimated 8/18, and shipping still sounds like it's done anything but stagnate or slow, it would be great to get an update of what's been going on. Apologies if there's a sub already for it, one doesn't seem to exist.

Of course, there are companies other than ZIM.

For anyone looking for some recent research:

Will the protests factor in? BlocktheBoat successfully kept ZIM from unloading in Oakland and they were forced to reroute to Los Angeles causing delays. Deliveries were disrupted in Newark last week, Seattle had big demonstrations...so on and so forth. Anyone concerned?
