The Ever Given was pulled free from the Suez Canal on Monday after cutting off traffic in the vital waterway for six days, but experts say the disruptions to global trade will continue to reverberate.

“We might celebrate the success of releasing the ship and unblocking the Suez, but that’s not the end of the story here,” said Douglas Kent, executive vice president of strategy and alliances at the Association for Supply Chain Management, told CNCB.

“It’s definitely going to continue to backlog ports and other delivery mechanisms as a result, and then of course the chaos that disrupts thereafter,” he added.

The ultra-large container ship became wedged in the Suez Canal last Tuesday, and it was dislodged around 9 a.m. ET on Monday after more than 10 tugboats arrived on the scene, along with specialized dredging equipment and expert salvage teams all working together to free the 220,000-ton vessel.

But while traffic has now resumed in the key waterway, the repercussions after days of halted movement will continue to be felt.

“The disruption of a week of this size is going to continue to have cascading effects ... it’s got to be at least 60 days before things get sorted out and appear to be a bit back to normal,” Stephen Flynn, professor of political science at Northeastern University, told the publication. “This level of disruption cascaded after every 24 hours,” he added.

Meanwhile, William Lee, chief economist at the Milken Institute, told USA Today: “This is a warning about how vulnerable our supply chains are and how the just-in-time inventory techniques that have been so popular have to be rethought,” he said.

“The shortages and the supply chain shortages that cause assembly lines to shut down – that will have a greater impact,” Lee added.

A representative of Netherlands-based importer Origin Fruit Direct said that the Suez Canal blockage caused a delay in Indian table grape shipments, which could help to alleviate the oversupply pressure in the European market.
