superb collection of memes on Suez:

but once again it has made us realized that no matter how much we be advanced tech enabled we can never match the difficulties and obstacles created by nature and its ecosystem. what we can do is to make a delivery or logistic system which is least distracted by natural and mainly unavoidable by natural causes.

in the end I pay my Homage to sir and may his soul be rest in peace.

Large scale inter-continental transportation would always be subject tot he vagaries of climate and geo-politics. फैजल खान कहता था-.'एक ही जान है. या तो अल्लाह लेगा या मोहल्ला लेगा.

Very Insightful post, sir. Last-mile logistics are like oxygen to the D2C companies indeed. My heartfelt condolences on your loss, may his soul rest in peace.

Most of the action in the platform space is in the non-glamorous last mile logistics. Coincidently that is also where maximum value is being created.

Thanks for sharing such cool memes. The much awaited traffic has finally been got moving which has almost saved us from a crisis! A ship that is larger than any canadaian sky scrapper was a blockage for the 400 ships carrying around 10 billion worth goods to move along. Let's just hope that it doesn't happen again and if it does we are ready with a contingency plan.

Also, condolences to your family for the loss. Much respect to the late colonel. 🙏

With greater reliance on large container ships and congested water ways/ports, we might be facing more of these episodes in future. JIT and lean manufacturing has its own disadvantages in current uncertain geo-political environment.
