A single continent is another way of saying an island, and while shipping via air is routine now, ocean shipping is by and large the way we move goods in and out of our country. You can see how much it is by looking at how the ports are backed up right now. Correct the Beirut explosion was cause by international shipping not domestic but my argument was that if you do not have safeguards then you will have more chances of something like that happening. Small backwater and intercostal ports in the US might not have the resources to deal with abandoned ships and cargo in the way that out international ports do.
