That seems crazy. That works out to £200 per day, on a cargo ship.
I really want these to take off. Container shipping is cost efficient but it really seems like an obvious, if complicated solution to drive costs and emissions lower.
but it carries 1000 tons of cargo. Ships with that capacity (fully cellular container ships, but not Panamax cost millions per year to run - five figures daily. There is real potential here.
That’s for a passenger ticket, not for a container. Just seems high for what I imagine is going to be a non-luxury cruise.
