There was an interview with a shipping manager somewhere (probably the 3-hour documentary by Gamers Nexus?). They said absolutely have been rerouting container ships in transit.

But these ships are carrying containers for many different companies, right?

If some companies want the goods now and other companies need to hold off, how does that work?

Just whoever's shipping the most goods wins?

Most container ships aren’t enormous behemoths

The more reasonable sized ones and the specialized ones (especially the car ones) often service a single buyer at a time
