More than 60 shipping vessels stalled off B.C. coast due to rail blockades

At least 66 shipping vessels are stalled in British Columbia's waters, according to the maritime shipping industry, as rail blockades continue in support of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs' opposition to the Coastal GasLink pipeline in northern B.C.

Robert Lewis-Manning, president of the Chamber of Shipping of B.C., says Canadians will eventually notice consequences from the backlog.

"It will hit in the pocket book, it will hit in necessary supplies for key industries and it will take a long time to recover," he said.

The vessels move commodities like consumer goods, food and raw materials between Canada and international destinations.

Very good planning. Now they will be able to lag the shock of corona virus supply chain breaks even longer there and be able to blame the initial shortage waves on it.

Canada aint the Queen's bitch for nothing. The Queen's bitches are smart.

Another angle is the value of goods in a coming shortage situation. The longer they let them sit the more they will become worth later. This is a good play in multiple ways.
