A. two general types...container ( carries containers, duh) and break-bulk.carries individual crates, containers, odd sized pieces...very few of them left on long distance voyages; mostly small stuff doing short runs. Then there are liners...ie they belong to a shipping line and run a certain route, leaving no fooling for sure on a certain day...and tramps ( or charter)...which belong to a company but don't have a set schedule or itinerary...they go where the cargo takes them and when the cargo is ready to go...once again not as many as there once were

What do you do when a small group of people allows a large group of people to die?
Q. It seems I keep hearing a few Generals in the devastated area of cyclone destruction will not allow aid. What do you do? Send in a barrage of US Military air cargo ships full of necessary supplies and armed accompaniment and feed some people. Seems a requirement at this point. Now that would be a US military invasion we can get behind. God Bless America. Surely the Burmese military is not enough to disuade the US. Nevermind the thugs in New Orleans did.

A. Burma prior to this was always ranked as one of the most corrupt nations on Earth. That area of the world is severely overpopulated compared to available resources. There will always be such problems there. So its almost a chicken and egg type question. The more food you give these people, the more they will multiply like insects. The more you take your time hurrying, the more you are sort of letting nature run its course and the groaning ground beneath their many feet breathe a sight of relief. All things considered, you want to help your fellow human being.
