Blocked train

shipping container at sea
Definition

In the supply chain, a blocked chain refers to a situation where a chain of goods or containers is physically obstructed or prevented from moving smoothly along the intended route. This can occur due to various reasons such as congestion, delays, customs issues, or lack of proper documentation. When a chain is blocked, it disrupts the flow of goods and can lead to delays, increased costs, and inefficiencies in the supply chain.
