Default Re: china cargo ship

I'm a member of the ILWU longshoremans union. It is our union that unloads/loads ALL the ships on the West Coast coming from China. The MARSK ship shown is an extreme example and not at all representative of what I see everyday.

We do ship MANY empty containers back to Asia, no doubt.
We also send MANY containers full of American products, grain (corn, soybeans, wheat) and scrap steel (shredded cars etc).........
