Last week’s unfortunate news, that the State of Disaster in South Africa had been extended, also received fair traction (https://tinyurl.com/nxefdam6).

Last but not least, and again affirming the wide interests of our readers, posts about Omicron’s tightening grip on China (https://tinyurl.com/5caec6mn), the Evergreen vessel that has been stuck in Chesapeake Bay (https://tinyurl.com/azaxsmmj), and bunker fuel surcharge adjustments (https://tinyurl.com/2p9d44kh), also fared well among our readers.
