Any disruption in the normal operation of routes and port and logistics facilities ”leads to increased costs and a situation of uncertainty for shipping companies and consumers, which alters the entire supply chain”. For Guerrero, this has as a consequence ”an increase in costs for al l the actors involved, which leads to an increase in the f inal price of products and services”.
