- p_l 6y agoPart of the problem was that NS Savannah was obsolete about the time it was introduced, combined with essentially requiring military crew to operate due to US law. So you introduce a very expensive to run freighter that requires complex cargo handling just as containers are starting to take the world. Not a good idea.
