The implication then is that without a port, transferring that much material from ships to shore would be prohibitively difficult.
- wolverine876 4y agoAh, thanks. I searched the article for ship, boat, sea, water, thinking I must have missed something, but not 'port'. They could build a port, which would provide permanent infrastructure for the logistics, but again I'm sure someone thought of that.
- cortesoft 4y agoYou have to get the materials there to build the port....

- antonvs 4y agoBut you'd either need ports at all the locations you need to send supplies, or you'd need something like this "land train"[*]. And if you have that, why bother with the complexity, difficulty, and time needed to build ports? [*] I'm sure that name makes sense to someone, but not to me...
