Will an Increase in Global Shipping Costs Hinder the Asian Printing Option?

The New York Times notes that the cost of shipping containers on a container ship has gone from $3000 to $8000 in the last ten years, a trend that if it continues one can imagine having a drastic effect on the option of printing expensive comics and comics-related book overseas. Comics publications do miss out on a double-dipping factor cited in the article, where materials are shipped overseas to a location in Asia and then shipped back to Western markets after being assembled.

I realize this is more of a depressing, random thought than a proper story.
