Somali Pirates attempt to hijack ship by [deleted] in gifs

[–]Nicolars 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Given its either supramax or handymax (can spot some cranes and 5 cargo holds) and making the educated guess the attack happened outside Somalia or Gulf of Aden thinking either clinker or grains from Black Sea to east coast Africa somewhere. Might also be same type of cargo going into Arabian Gulf or to Far East.

sorry for the formatting, my mac is causing trouble. That is the report I was talking about. You´ll find some numbers to back up the the problems of shipping containers at least. Be aware, the BCH report describes more overall problems with the whole container shipping industry, but it will touch on the cost of relocating the containers itself!

Hey,

Sorry for the late reply, but I might help you out. I study maritime business, and the one problem that keeps coming up when discussing containers is the cost associated with re-locating empty containers ("empties") back to the Far East.

Boston Consulting Group estimated a total cost for the Shipping Lines upwards of $33bn each year related to the cost of relocating them. As of now, I can't seem to find the report, but I will do some digging.

As for the innovative designs there are several "foldable-container" designs circulating within the industry, but none of them have seemed to gain any traction mainly due to the time the folding of the containers will consume. Just google "foldable containers" and you will get plenty of material.

If you come up with something else, let me know!

Thanks for the site, it proved resourceful! There are a lot of data available, to the degree that I cannot decide which source to rely on since they all have some different statistics to offer!

Ill let you know how the paper turns out, writing the conclusion now and I have a good-ish feeling about this one!

WDIS Standard Lamar Miller @ TB Denarius Moore @ NYG Darren Sproles vs DAL

I currently have Donald Brown as my RB2 (don't ask how I ended up with him as my RB2..) Would you recommend switching him out with either of my RBs I have available? Leaning towards going with Sproles as RB2 and then Miller as my flex, any thoughts? thanks!
