For sure. The financial/economic burden of this is tough to even imagine. It's no Ever Given in the Suez Canal, but the impact on commerce and transit will be astounding. 

Of course the immediate thought is deservedly on the missing and the dead, but this is going to have very long-lasting consequences.
