~I always ask ... why ?
That thing is not designed to go from port to port like a Carnival cruise ... and there aren’t too many places that can dock the thing, so it’s destination can only be to one or two places.
Where are they .... the US ? .. Europe ?
What kind of logistics have to be in play in order for this thing to be utilitarian ?
I got a TON o’ questions~
The purpose of these ships is actually to haul Walmart-type merchandise from South-East China to California.
It doesn’t need a capability to land elsewhere.
“The purpose of these ships is actually to haul Walmart-type merchandise from South-East China to California.”
Maersk bought the port of Lazaro Cardenas in Mexico to build a “Superport” for these ships, and their own super-ships, a few years ago.
The port connects directly to the Kansas City Southern Railway, right into the Central U.S.
The Punta Colonet Superport has been on hold, because the US Enviros (with Union support, imagine that), are fighting rebuilding the rail connection through the California desert.
