Ingabe imithwalo yolwandle izokwehla?

Kusukela izolo (mhla zingama-27 kuMandulo), imikhumbi engu-154 yama-container elinde ichweba eShanghai naseNingbo yayicindezele ama-74 eLong Beach, eLos Angeles, yaba yintsha.

"inkosi yokuvimba" embonini yemikhumbi yomhlaba wonke.

Okwamanje, imikhumbi engaphezu kuka-400 yama-container emhlabeni wonke ayikwazi ukungena echwebeni. Ngokusho kwedatha yakamuva evela kugunyazwe yichweba laseLos Angeles,

Imikhumbi yezimpahla kufanele ilinde isilinganiso sezinsuku ezingu-12, kanti isikhathi eside kunazo zonke besilinde cishe inyanga yonke.

Uma ubheka ishadi elishintshashintshayo lokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi, uzothola ukuthi iPacific igcwele imikhumbi. Umfudlana wemikhumbi oqhubekayo uya ezingxenyeni zaseMpumalanga nasentshonalanga ye-

IPacific, kanye namachweba aseShayina nase-United States kube yiwona athinteke kakhulu.

Ukuminyana kwabantu kuye kwaba kubi kakhulu.

Ngokuphathelene nokuthola “ibhokisi elilodwa” okunzima ukulithola kanye nokuthwala impahla ephezulu kakhulu, sekuhluphe ukuthunyelwa kwempahla emhlabeni wonke isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka.

Izinga lokuthwala impahla yesitsha esijwayelekile esingamamitha angu-40 sisuka eShayina siya e-United States likhuphuke ngokuphindwe kahlanu lisuka kumadola aseMelika angaphezu kuka-3000 laya ngaphezu kwalokho.

Amadola aseMelika angu-20000.

Ukuze kuncishiswe amazinga okunyuka kwezimpahla, i-White House yenze isinyathelo esingavamile futhi yacela ukubambisana noMnyango Wezobulungiswa ukuze kuphenywe futhi kujeziswe

izenzo ezilwa nokuncintisana. I-United Nations Trade and Development Organisation (UNCTAD) nayo yenze izicelo eziphuthumayo, kodwa zonke azizange zibe namphumela omuhle.

Ukuthwala impahla okuphakeme nokungahlelekile kwenza amabhizinisi amancane naphakathi angenakubalwa ahwebelana kwamanye amazwe afune ukukhala ngaphandle kokukhala futhi alahlekelwe yimali yawo.

Ubhubhane oluqhubeke isikhathi eside luphazamise ngokuphelele umjikelezo wokuthunyelwa kwemikhumbi emhlabeni wonke, futhi ukuminyana kwamachweba ahlukahlukene akukaze kuncishiswe.

Ochwepheshe babikezela ukuthi imithwalo yemikhumbi izoqhubeka nokukhula esikhathini esizayo.
