    Just been reading about workers on container ships being subject to a global ban on shore leave, so even if a port allows the ship to stay after docking, they're trapped on board.

    Otherwise they're sent back out to sea. If they have internet access at all it's usually super-slow, strictly monitored satellite variety. Some have been on-ship for 10 months. Grim.

    Can't be too long before people lock-down, if nothing else, starts to have an impact on global trade? Unless they just keep the same people trapped indefinitely.

    • *trapped on the ships, so that they have a workforce and can continue to operate.Fax_Benson
