It is just the latest in a growing number of disruptions hitting the shipping industry as it battles the effects of climate change. A similar reduction in 2019 cost global shipping as much as $370 million, according to a study by RTI International.

The impacts of climate change on ports alone, from damage to disruption, could cost the shipping industry up to $10 billion annually by 2050 and up to $25 billion per year by 2100, according to the RTI study, which was reviewed by the Environmental Defense Fund.
