Jeasus - seriously - if that was an inbound shipment then it would be worse - this appears to have been leaving - which would infer that the TEUs were more empty than full.
- senectus1 3y agodo they ever run these empty? I would expect they're as close to full as they can get in every trip. They'd be terribly inefficient ways to transport goods otherwise.
- samstave 3y agoApparently, I was wrong - they are reporting it as a "fully loaded" -- but that does not mean the TEUs were full of goods and services... but thats what they are calling it. So I have no Idea. Unless ImportYtei.com can get the bills of lading for that ship....
- marnett 3y agoWith what would they be filled with?
- lupire 3y agoIdeally, something exportable from this region. Some import products are crazy cheap because cross-planet shipping is basically free because it's the reverse end of a trip carrying valuable stuff. But they mainly applies to ships returning from low development level regions.
- katbyte 3y agoLike what? What does na export in containers? Most our exports are bulk not container afaik
- 83 3y agoWhile the majority is bulk, the US does export a lot of industrial machinery. It's just not stuff you normally think about - like the large hvac systems on the roof of large buildings or the caterpillar earth moving equipment/parts to make roads.
- heads 3y agoNorth America has lots of land and oil. Timber (Canada), plastics, and corn fertilised by nitrates that were made using fossil fuel energy. Corn probably doesn’t ship in containers but corn-fed beef and poultry do?
