Three Ocean Monopoly Our Run Cost Week Stuck Consumer Days Israel Ships Very Expensive Transferred Poorly Products Reasons Many Things Four Ports
All the definitions people want to put on you in terms of what kind of writer you are come with hidden meanings. If you're writing science fiction, you're writing rocket ships. If you write dystopian fiction, it's inequity where The Man must be fought. Paolo Bacigalupi

I find Maersk fascinating. It is the Coca-Cola of freight with none of the fame. Its parent company, A. P. Moller-Maersk, is Denmark's largest company, its sales equal to 20 percent of Denmark's GDP; its ships use more oil than the entire nation. Rose George
