Shashi Kiran Shetty, Group Chairman of Allcargo Logistics, is in the camp that feels the problem may not persist for long.
“The disruption due to this blockage will be over in a short time. I think the shipping world will recover pretty fast, I don’t see a major challenge going forward,” he said in an interview to CNBC-TV18.
