# World of shipping remains disrupted

> Worldwide shipping remains disrupted following the pandemic, with lockdowns in China still hampering trade. Russia's war in Ukraine has idled Europe's breadbasket and limited ship transit through the Black Sea. Great Lakes grain shipments through the St. Lawrence Seaway are increasing compared with 2021, while iron-ore shipments are lower.
