The US space agency “NASA” has captured unique images, which, according to experts, are considered a dangerous indicator of the current global economic paralysis in international supply chains.
The ASTER instrument, which is dedicated to measuring radiation of reflection and thermal emissions installed on a NASA satellite in space, captured a unique picture indicating the disruption of global supply chains, a frightening international economic indicator, according to experts.
The image taken shows more than 70 ships waiting to dock and unloading cargo in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, which caused the supply chain crisis to not be able to unload the cargo.
According to the scientific magazine “scitechdaily”, the increasing demand for goods in general and consumer goods in particular, in conjunction with the lack of employment, bad weather and the disruption of the supply chain group due to the Corona virus crisis, is contributing to the accumulation of cargo ships in ports around the world.
In its report, the magazine noted that the problem of the accumulation of ships around the ports is not limited to the ports of Los Angeles, but rather spreads in many American ports, such as the ports of New York, New Jersey, Georgia and Texas.
