the panama canal is really for the US navy .... the US's got a
very good landbased transportation system, and anything to and fro
east asian and europe can go via the indian ocean, atlantic route
...
I'm not surprised ... but then there's those god forsaken
shitholes called somalia and Iran, so insurance may be higher ....
yeap
but CMA CGM & Maersk's new route is really stunning... West
Coast US (Seattle) - Asia (Shanghai/ Hong Kong/ PSA
Singapore) - East Coast US (New York, Norfolk)
