I watched a YouTube video about the economics of scrapping still useable cruise and container ships recently (spoiler: the price of scrap steel is worth more than the cost of continuing to run old ships). One of the mind blowing points was that its cheaper to send a container from the UK to Australia, than from the UK to Switzerland.
