The shock is directly a port/shipping-delay event, so the most immediate grounded effect is slower sea transport and port delivery for port and crane equipment.

Maersk’s port congestion and vessel-waiting disruptions reduce logistics capacity and lengthen lead times, so this transport input is delayed rather than fully unavailable; the 17% market share and 3-month replacement lag make the effect moderate.

Refrigerated truck transport (fresh produce) →Shortage riskRefrigerated truck transport is a critical, high-dependency input for moving perishable produce, so port-driven trucking delays quickly reduce the availability of fresh produce staples.

Fresh produce staples →DelaysMexico fresh horticultural imports
Port congestion slows containerized fresh horticultural imports from Mexico, a critical input to fresh produce staples.

Mexico fresh horticultural imports →DelaysPort delays slow the arrival of this critical, high-dependency input, so the downstream fresh-produce staple flow should be delayed materially.
