The outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted the global supply chain and the shipping industry. Cancellation or modification of shipping contracts might be required to accommodate the current situation. Given the shipping industry is often the first to feel the impact in economic downturns, disputes will probably arise as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
