Just because ship can carry nominal value of 15K TEUs, it is very hard to estimate how many containers are currently on board. Also, empty container looks exactly like the full container from the outside, looking at the ship. One very inter

This! I don't mind seeing some ads. In fact, they could be very useful, if they are relevant. Google knows enough about me to do this.Instead, I am regularly getting things I really don't care about, plus increased amount of video

Top ocean carriers (including Maersk) are mature and well established organizations. For what concerns their core activities, that is transporting of containers from A to B across oceans, short sea and occasional inland, they are Pareto eff

Agree. I can add to this the retailers Migros, Coop and digitec.ch (amazing). We are so used to the quality of their services, that we take them for granted.
