So a VLCC is carrying one million barrels of crude.

Cargo is worth four times the value of the ship.

Pretty soon they’ll just unload the crude, and melt the ship for scrap.

That’s how valuable crude is.

Kinda like Red Chinese shipping containers' one way trips?

So how about the world’s biggest “no-return” container?
