It finally happened, one of them died

My lotto winnings in Nigerian gold coins are stuck behind that ship in the canal. At least that's what the Nigerian prince told me. All he wants is a few dozen Target gift cards...

I would think that anything coming from China would come across the Pacific. In any event I'd rather do air freight due to the time it takes to get them on a ship not to mention that the cargo ships are lined up waiting to get into port and through customs.

I'm under the impression that they can't ship those large lithium's via airfreight, so something has changed.

When you zoom way out, you will see the tremendous traffic jam this has caused in that area.

I believe that the 200 Ah lithium's are the largest that they can ship by air.

Ah..I looked it up....as long as the large lithiums are shipped at or below 30% charge and marked 'Air Cargo Only' (not passenger airliners) ...apparently it's fine.

BTW they finally got the big cargo ship 'unstuck'...brings new meaning to 'slow boat from china'....
