Container Costs
 
Interesting to read that due to a combination of factors, the cost of shipping goods via containers has skyrocketed to such an extent that shippers have started to ship their cargoes via breakbulk and Roro ships rather than container ships.
This could be good not just for owners of these vessels but also for ports that have been bypassed by the container trade.

Very true i used to be involved until recently with shipping containers mainly to UK from Thailand. Since the Corona virus popped up last year container shipment prices have went up seven fold here
