Consider this quote: “The cost of hiring a freight-liner (container ship) to carry products around the world has collapsed in recent months. If this is any guide for the global economy, the picture is looking stormy. The fundamental problem seems to be huge excess supply in the container shipping industry and some businesses are struggling to survive.”
