There's a meal plan company called Cumin Club -- the cost of food and labor there is so much lower than the US, they actually buy and make the food in India, and then ship it to the US, and it's still cheap. So I thought, why not scale that up? Building fancy, labor-intensive houses here in the US is hella expensive, because construction labor is hella expensive. So if I were to build a modular house in India, and then ship it out to the US for assembly, how much would that shipment cost? Obviously any answer you give me will be super rough, but super rough is better than "probably more than tree fiddy and less than a billion", which is the level of specificity I'm currently at.
Fellow Vitards, recognizing we are all a steel/commodities subreddit, and I too love steel as much as the next Vitard, but truth be told: as the old Vito saying goes, “the only thing I love more than steel is money”… by the way, watching the incredible ape karaoke, the LULU Lemon DD, the gifs submitted over the past couple weeks is nothing short of inspiring. For this reason, I humbly present due diligence on ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (ZIM). This ticker has been mentioned more than a few times over the past week or two, and having watched the stock, researched and bought it, I realized no one has submitted the DD it truly deserves. So buckle up, grab your nearest steel dildo, oil it up with some West Texas Crude (or Brent for our overseas friends), grab a glass of bourbon, put on a Steely Dan record, and strap in.
Background: Everyone is probably familiar with the fact that COVID-19 has completely disrupted the commodities industry not only with materials, metals and mining but also shipping. If you’ve paid any attention to Platts or the commodities news over the past few months you may have noticed a few things. First, when ports were shut down to COVID-19, ships were prevented from docking, unloading and loading in a timely manner to the point where there are dozens of ships waiting for weeks to dock in major ports. Because of the disruption there is currently a global shortage of shipping containers, many are empty in ports far from where they are needed while ships are so full they lack the capacity to return them their port of origin. If you don’t believe me, check out the recent changes in the Shanghai Containerized Freight Index for twenty-foot-equivalent (TEU) units.
Per Zim's Investor Presentation
Just like China sets the standard for steel pricing through import and exports, they also set the standard for global containerized freight – large increases tend to ripple through into international markets.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Hey everyone...
Does anyone know of any subreddits that have a lot of global breakbulk/RoRo charter operators, brokers, owners on it? A place where I might be able to post some cargo and see if anyone has any specific routes planned?
Thanks!
I guess the concept didn't work
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
###Ahoy There, Sailor!
French international and intranational trade must be extended in order to maintain a competitive economic edge. Without the ability to import and export products efficiently and at scale, the French economy would not survive in this interconnected world. As such, a port project must be launched to revolutionize the capacity and function of France’s ports.
First and foremost, the entirety of liquid bulk and dry bulk transfer will be done with standardized components, containers and - over time - ships. The objective is to greatly increase the efficiency of loading and unloading of bulk cargoes, rapidly decreasing dock processing time and bringing the rest of the world closer to France than ever before.
Even more revolutionary, the BdN-standardized intermodal container will allow for standard equipment for rapid loading and unloading of breakbulk cargo. Small-scale experiments have already demonstrated that new intermodal methods could take as little as a day to load and unload an amount of goods that would require a week for traditional strap-hauling.
As part of this project, France has requested the assistance of the Danish shipbuilding corporation Maersk to complete contracts for 15 pioneering intermodal container vessels of various tonnages in French dockyards, with the hope being that the first of such vessels will leave the slipway in early 1951. These vanguard vessels will be owned by the French Autorité de transport naval (ATN), a maritime counterpart to the SNCF, and Maersk amply rewarded for their time and expertise in their construction. Their primary destinations will be ports within the French Union and the UKIJ, and their capacity will reflect that relatively limited role. In time, the network of rapid intermodal trade will hopefully permit expansion of overseas French ports and corresponding capacity of vessels.
Unfortunately, all things come at a cost: the number of longshoremen required will drop substantially over the course of modernization. As such, a program will be provided to ensure that unemployed or underemployed former longshoremen are able to retrain for similar manual jobs in other industries, the availability of which will continue to increase as the manpower demands of reconstruction grow over time.
We see containerized storage come up in the Zar Quaesitor when Cawl is presenting his new Primaris Marines to Guilliman.

The fact that nobody seems surprised at this mechanism of storage suggests it is at least known to be an AdMech thing, and might be pretty common across the Imperium.
Cool Container Cliff's Notes
- Intermodal: You can use one container, and put it on a truck, a train, boat, or in extreme cases, a plane. In 40k, the Enginseer or Hive Factory Slavemaster can seal a container, put it on a dropship, stack them in a transport, unload them on a siege train, move the contents about a forge world, with a minimum of fuss.
- Stackable: You can stack them very high and maximize volume.
- Craneable: Cranes are cool. You can use machines to stack them if they're rated for it, but this is also a pre-req for intermodal transport. Otherwise it's real tedious to move containers.
- Standard Sizes: you can logistically plan your production around predictable container sizes, and also, the means of shipping and handling, and know that the other side also has the exact same equipment to handle and move containers.
Is the rest of the Imperium using break-bulk (move bags one by one), or containers (move giant containers with gantry cranes, ez to stack to use internal volume for immense storage density).
Containerized storage and transport probably also makes sense for the industrial battlefields of 40k. We know that the Kriegers in Vraks were using trench railroads, which is direct from WW1, so it may make sense for them to use a post-WW2 invention: ISO containers on trains to quickly move supplies to the front quickly, especially for their legendarily long and sustained artillery bombardments.
Tactically/operationally/intheater it's hard to say. There's a Trojan carrier based on the Chimera with a crane, so that suggests some types of cargo that are not amenable to rolling out of the rear cargo door. However, it's probably a fairly small module, limited to a few inches safety margin around the interior volume of the Chimera's roof hatch.
Other possible hints of the modular containers of
