Ocean shipping to and from Russia halted by container lines

As the invasion of Ukraine enters its second week, the international shipping community is suspending cargo routes to and from Russia, disrupting trade in everything from electronics and metals to clothing.

On Tuesday the world’s three largest container lines, A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S, MSC Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM S.A., joined Hapag-Lloyd AG and Asia’s Ocean Network Express Pte. Ltd. in halting services in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These companies represent 47% of the global shipping trade.

the international shipping community
I love the way phrases like this are used in journalism without qualification.

Is there a shipping community? Is there an international community? Are Taiwanese shippers conferring on this with their Madagascan counterparts in the community?
