Chinese cargo ship makes inaugural journey, reshaping global trade
To Europe, via Arctic circle, 20 days vs 40 days. No Suez Canal. A single transit toll through the Suez Canal typically ranges from $30,000 to over $1.5 million per vessel. Saves both time and money.
- siamese_puff 19d agoThis sounds awesome. Can anyone comment on the plethora of negative articles seemingly trying to balance out this positive news with the cargo ship fire in China 2 days ago? Orchestrated media manipulation or coincidence? Not a conspiracy theorist just curious
- apothegm 19d agoPositive if you consider the disappearance of the arctic ice caps to be a positive thing, I suppose?
- nbernard 19d agoI understand Russia (Rosatom) charges a 6 digit toll on this route, but I have not seen hard numbers.
