"Actually container shipping is the most efficient transport (more effecient than rail and trucking). How else can you get those items from China at the Dollar store? Who knows, canals may have a resurgence."

None-the-less, the fact that we are using fleets of titanic ships that consume 28 gallons of oil per minute to move cheap chinese made
plastic consumer junk from one side of the globe to the other to prop up our economies is a concern.

I'm confussed is that a Japanese or Korean engine? The top of the page says it was made by a Japanese company but if you scroll down to the 2nd to the bottom pic....there's Korean writing on the inside wall of a factory.

anybody have an answer to that question?
