LONDON – The war on the coronavirus seems like a genuine war, with its own airbase.
A disused RAF airport in English County Suffolk is expected to see 20,000 shipping boxes filled with unwanted products stacked on its runway, while closed outlets sell while Chinese factories produce orders and ship orders long before the global crashes.
This is just one of the major logistics adjustments resulting from the coronavirus pandemic that has changed shipping and retail patterns, remodeled rail transport and stranded tens of thousands of sailors in freighters worldwide.
A former World War II airbase, RAF Bentwaters, now known as Bentwaters Parks, can be a very important sale for the British cargo sector, which is suffering to buy tons of non-essential parts imported from Asia, such as clothing, production. and electronics, which lately are not sold with the closure of COVID-19.
After a first shutdown of Chinese production, the worst outbreak of coronavirus in February and March, products destined for UK retail outlets are expected to accumulate in May as order accumulation reaches UK shores.
But there is a problem: many of these street shops have been forced to close due to blocking regulations imposed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a brick wall at the end of the chain of origin.
The blockade means that many of the 50,000 shipping boxes that must enter Britain from the week to May want a transit house. With warehouses in the UK already close to capacity, the industry is struggling to locate the garage until the lock is lifted.
Peter Ward, executive director of the UK. Warehousing Association, said that without finishing the blockade (not expected in the coming days), the industry faces a major logistical challenge. “We are passing to succeed at a critical point where there is no warehouse, no place to pass and we will have to avoid the threat of port congestion at all costs,” he said.

Traffic jams at ports would create a momentary challenge by obstructing the entry of essential parts such as food and medicine.
The Warehousing Association has introduced an emergency area register, linking freight companies to warehouses to ensure that each and every square foot is used. and is used as a filming location with an on-site Cold War museum, offering giant concrete regions that can contain thousands of containers.
“We are in a position to go, having known the area and prepared the answers and in a position to act,” Ward said.
The use of off-dock locations is unusual, yet the scale of demand, with many stores desperate to purchase such a wide diversity of merchandise, is unprecedented.
Preparations for a Brexit without agreement until the end of 2019 were a smart practice for the government, but for the freight transport sector, the pandemic poses another problem: how to manage a chain of origin at a deadlock rather than seeking to remain just in time on the move.
“The dynamics of this scenario are very different, and that’s largely due to the static nature of much of what’s available lately,” Ward said.
Others in the domain discovered silver lights around the coronavirus cloud. Freight trains finished deliveries twice after the blockade saw passengers particularly reduced, leaving the UK rail network virtually empty.
James Sweeney, the driving force of the cargo exercise for the British freightliner, said the cargo had a clearer path to its destinations and that, as a result, he noticed that waiting times were reduced. “It means fewer stops,” he says.
His exercise did not cross a 30-mile single passenger service from Shrewsbury to Crewe in the west of England last Friday. “It’s pretty surreal to do driving exercises and not see passengers on the platforms,” he said.
Some charging exercise drivers have noticed that trips that would take up to nine hours have been reduced to 3 or 4 because they can take more direct routes.
More green lighting fixtures at intersections allow drivers to enjoy driving. “You have time to look out the side window and see the global step,” Sweeney said. “If you run on the greens, it makes it much nicer, especially in this beautiful weather It has been quite cool.
But the image is not smart for transporting goods by rail.
Some facilities are operating with difficulty supplying goods to supermarkets, the electricity sector and construction, while in other spaces the call has disappeared. and many employees were sent home under a government program that will pay 80% of the salaries of staff who would otherwise lose their jobs.
“I think every single company in the country is in trouble,” said Maggie Simpson, executive director of Rail Freight. “It would be a lie if I said there are no corporations of our members in trouble. “
Ferries and passenger planes, which carry goods and passengers, also face an existential threat: declining tourism and other travel has made cargo routes financially unworkable, affecting ports and airports. , Great Britain and Northern Ireland to relieve some of the pressure. Some companies, such as P
“The industry now faces what can be one of the greatest serious economic benefits in fashion history,” said Alex Veitch, head of foreign and multimodal policy at the Freight Transport Association. He put the drop in business by about 85%. “We fully perceive the reasons for the blockade, but the more it persists, the more complicated it will be for everyone. “
Veitch said the government’s program to pay workers’ wages has a lifeline: “The license allows many companies to continue operating now. “
Being trapped at home is actually preferable to being trapped in the sea, where tens of thousands of sailors running on cargo ships around the world have discovered themselves. Dozens of countries have banned foreigners from accessing their COVID-19 closures, meaning that sailors whose contracts are terminated cannot land to move back into the house.
Crew adjustments around the world have virtually ceased in the past two months, while some sailors traveling to milder-restricted countries have found the the most recently trapped in hotels, unable to catch their flight home.
In the oil tanker Sonangol Girassol, controlled through V. Ships Management, a subsidiary of the British company V. Group, Captain Muhammad Nadeem Khan and his team of 26 men have been anchored 3 miles from the Angolan capital, Luanda, for a month.
Khan said containment is “disturbing” to Angolan sailors. “They have their space so close to us and they can’t stop for more than a month,” he said. Your initial contract of 4 months, but has already been extended through 3 more.
According to the International Shipping Chamber, about 150,000 sailors from around 65,000 international ships want rapid equipment changes, but Khan is a fact about the situation, insisting that it is not that other because he is trapped at home.
Being so close to the coast, your team has smart internet connections and can communicate with friends and family, but that will replace once shipping leaves for China in the coming days, an adventure that can mean the longest stay at sea for Khan in his entire career.
“In fact I will miss you,” he said of his wife, a doctor and two young men in a house near Islamabad, Pakistan. “But for me, it probably wouldn’t be the goal of the world. When COVID-19 is over, we can see our families. “
Three team members have made the decision not to go to China and Khan is looking to exchange them with other strands on other ships. Everyone expects locks around the world to make it less difficult and for teams to be able to return home. on the next scale. ” You have to keep your spirits up all the time,” the captain said.
At least the crews are protected from the virus. ” Right now, we can say that we are the safest people on the planet,” Khan said, while others warn that they oppose the mental cost of sea people.
UK Shipping Chamber Communications Director Alastair Clifton said it was bad for intellectual fitness and fatigue, as well as for overall fitness and protection on board a ship. “For the industry, this is a really huge problem,” he said. V. Group gives more for the well-being of stranded crews and a greater web connection for some ships, so that sea people can stay in touch with their homes more easily.
Businesses can solve their own transience problems, but the industry needs governments to work in combination to ease restrictions on sea people. “Due to the nature of shipping, we need to work with foreign agencies as well as the UK government,” Clifton said.
On the first day of May, ships from around the world released horns in solidarity with the stranded navals on their ships. Before the show of support, Guy Platten, general secretary of the International Chamber of the Merchant Navy, said it would be a “homage to those anonymous heroes of world trade. “He added: “We expect governments to respond. “
