4 million buy a freight boat

I work in supply chain but not a complete expert but the smallest cheapest ship I can find for sale is this one for $6MM, doesn’t include licensing, crew, insurance and the dreyage/accessorial on live polar bears is gonna cost you big

Does it really need to be a big container ship?

Didn’t people transport stuff in smaller boats back in the day?

(You still make a valid point though)

  Idk, polar bears are really heavy, and it takes a long time to get from one end of the planet to the other, so you want something secure to store the bears in. That means a bigger ship that can handle angry bears hurling themselves at the walls of their cage, because they will wake up during the journey, and they won’t be happy.

    For some reason, just imagining this is fucking hilarious. OOP on a shipping container being mutinied by dozens of feral pissed of polar bears

  they did specify freight! although getting The Cutty Sark back in working order is probably even more costly.
