In 2021, it was giant container vessel, Ever Given, that got stuck in the Suez Canal. That event caused major back-up on either side of the canal, and huge logistical issues.  
In 2022, it is giant container vessel, Maersk Mumbai, that got stuck off the shores of a German island. The vessel has been successful freed. Impacts?? I think, considerable less

Perhaps German kids have to wait a few days or a week longer for shoes. Furniture? Maybe, Ikea 😉
