Fill 3 of them up with iron ore, half-way through the Suez Canal, sink them. Maybe that’s what the Chinese built them for?

Don’t need to have more than one - they can’t fit into the locks drive up to either side of the canal sink one and the whole shibang is closed for a good long time especially if the think is scuttled with a full load of dirt scrap or ore.

You are funny, trying to get this thing through there would be like putting a football in a coke bottle.

The Brazilians built them to ship their iron ore to China. The Chicaps dis not build them

The reason was they needed to lower the cost of delivery to compete with Australian miners.

Un mentioned was what will happen when the Ausies get bigger ships?
