I like your idea, but I think delivery time is still hugely important for the owners of the cargo. It is still inventory on somebody's books. BTW, I feel this

I like your idea, but I think delivery time is still hugely important for the owners of the cargo. It is still inventory on somebody's books. BTW, I feel this is one of those "why didn't anyone think of this before" situations. Hundreds of thousands of people in the maritime industry, and I bet this was totally off their radar (pun intended). It is still far-fetched, but now that someone has researched the details, it feels possible. I especially like the idea of more tech and comms jobs replacing difficult and dangerous work. If you're interested in following the various maritime industries, gcaptain.com is a good website. They cover many aspects (shipping, drilling, ports, finance, insurance, piracy, wrecks, and rescues), and usually have great photos.
