  With containers weighing up to 30 tons? I don't think so. And even if you do... great, now you have it on a different ship. You still have to get it on land, typically onto a truck. So you need some kind of a crane. And those are pretty busy these days...

    Maybe SpaceX can send "Of Course I Still Love You" with a bunch of container trailers to be loaded directly. It could then sail back to port with a fleet of semis waiting to pull away. Totally human free, so no covid delays.

    Simply reinvent shipping to not use heavy containers but rather lighter weight parcels. We recently bought a custom couch that was delayed 3 months sitting on a ship. I offered to haul it off the ship myself, which of course the government wouldn't allow.

      "Simply reinvent shipping" ...... good luck with that!
