Trade Reborn at the Port After Global Shipping Grinds to a Halt

Global Shipping Shutdown + Port Management + Supply Chains + Trade Reboot

A solar storm destroys the global navigation network, grounding 100,000 cargo ships and shutting down ports for seventy-two hours. Jiang Yu, a dispatcher laid off by a shipping conglomerate, can see the safety window for every shipment, where shortages are truly occurring, viable transport chains, and the first point of failure. Two cases of insulin will expire in six hours, while the city hospital has only one day's supply left. Thirty thousand tons of wheat are locked under the wrong ownership claim, even as a small island nation across the sea runs out of food.

He can't conjure ships, fuel, or permits out of thin air. All he can do is connect the route one stretch at a time using tugboats, railways, barges, warehouse receipts, and real negotiations. From an abandoned pier and a life-saving cold chain to an emergency trade network spanning multiple ports and a new global shipping standard, Jiang Yu must get the world moving again. But after the first new route sets sail, a port that doesn't exist appears on the cargo flow map. Every cargo ship reported missing over the past ten years is heading there to dock.
