Conflict in Ukraine Sparks Massive Problems for One of World's Largest Seafood Exporters


A combination of closed airspace, exorbitant fuel prices, and reduced export capacity amid an ongoing sanctions war have led to severe disruptions on the seafood market. This bodes ill for Norway, for which seafood is a major source of income trailing only oil and gas.
As an unexpected consequence, Russia's special operation in Ukraine and ensuing wave of sanctions and countersanctions have sparked massive problems for Norwegian seafood exports.
As the airspace over Russia is closed to European aircraft, the transport of goods to the lucrative Asian market must take a major detour south. Longer routes to reach delivery points force cargo planes to take on board much more fuel, which, in turn, means that they can carry less.
Getting fresh seafood, one of Norway's key exports trailing only oil and gas, to their important markets in Asia is a top priority for shipping companies. However, the detour coupled with the fact that Russian shipping companies are now unavailable have greatly reduced the capacity of the freight market.
"The dramatic situation affects the flow of seafood", Tom-Jørgen Gangsø, the director of market analysis at the Norwegian Seafood Council, told national broadcaster NRK. "There is still a lot of uncertainty in terms of how seafood will go in and out of Russia, which will also affect the competitive situation for Norwegian seafood".

This leads to challenges for the Norwegian seafood industry, as the huge Asian market is the most important for fresh and frozen seafood. Additionally, Russia itself is a major importer of shrimp, Atlantic salmon, and trout.
Since the Russian airline AirBridgeCargo is no longer allowed to pick up seafood at Oslo Airport with its jumbo jets due to a comprehensive ban, freight operator DB Schenker has calculated that the capacity for shipping to Asia has decreased by 40 to 50 percent, forcing prices to skyrocket.
According to DB Schenker communications manager Nils-Petter Buer, the use of southern routes alone to bypass Russian and Ukrainian airspace yields a delay of two hours per flight.
Fuel prices have also risen dramatically amid the conflict.
"We now see that fuel prices are at their highest since 2008. With a combination of a significant reduction in air freight capacity, it yields record-high prices for freight. This is how it will be in the future", Buer explained.

Yet another headache for Norwegian exports is that China, one of its main markets, is now hit by anti-pandemic measures and import bans.
"Shanghai, which is the largest import port and aviation hub in mainland China, is now closed for imports", DB Schenker air freight manager Morten Würgler concluded.
The fish and seafood industry is of paramount importance in Norway. With its vast coastline, the oblong country provides ample conditions for domestic fishing and aquaculture. In recent years, revenues generated by fisheries and processing industry have soared. In 2018, the fish and seafood industry reached its highest profit, amounting to approximately 6.5 billion euros ($7.15 billion). The fisheries and aquaculture industry is Norway's largest export industry after oil and gas, with products from captured and farmed fish exported to over 150 countries.

The US has repeatedly destroyed economies the world around; from their disgusting bio-lab warfare recently unleashed on humanity in which 6.5 million have so far died and countless more millions have suffered, to the incessant wars it directly or indirectly instigates, leading to death, destruction, poverty and misery sending the planet back by a decade or two each time.

As someone increasingly frustrated by this merry-go-round of misery and hopelessness, I no longer have any illusions as to what lays ahead for the world’s future for as long as this arch-criminal entity and constant massive threat to mankind, is allowed to continue.

I hope that America pushes every last Russian button to trigger Putin’s wrath so that he may annihilate these worthless ass-wipes from the planet and send them to kingdom come where they belong, where Satan will be waiting with open arms to accommodate them at his cursed abode.

So just keep pushing mother fuckers for I want to see nothing less than your TOTAL destruction, for your death means LIFE for the rest of us! :)

As for the seemingly myriads of criminally-minded US fan boys... remember what happened to the Nazi fan boys?

Yes, they did exist... and a similar fate would await you.

It never ceases to amaze me that every infamous criminal that has ever come and gone, has always had fan base!

Isn’t it strange how there’s always someone who looks up to and admires the criminal, yearning for such infamy and power for themselves?

From Al Capone, to Hitler, to the Kray twins, to Escobar, and all the way up to the most evil of them all America… there’s just no shortage of fan boys it seems!

These are criminally minded psychopathic individuals who would’ve loved to have been in the infamous criminal’s shoes imposing their will on others, so that they may feel a sense of self-worth!

So if you’re one of those sick individuals who think America is great and that everything is hunky-dory because it’s everyone else’s fault, be it known to you that you are in this sinister group of VERY DARK individuals who inconspicuously live among us as wolves in sheep’s clothing!

Deep down you are very dark and sinister individual who wouldn’t hesitate to commit the most horrendous of crimes if you could get away with it, and although you can fool all those around you at the moment… God knows EXACTLY what is brewing in that sinister pea of yours, make no mistake!

You ain’t as clever as you think! :)

Stalin murders 3.5 million Ukrainians. By deliberate starvation.

All in a good cause. To enforce collectivism.

That doesn’t count of course. He was Russian and Russian killings are - well - something different. Understandable, sort of thing.

Nothing new under the sun. Ehh?
