Chinese cargo ship makes inaugural journey, reshaping global trade

To Europe, via Arctic circle, 20 days vs 40 days. No Suez Canal. A single transit toll through the Suez Canal typically ranges from $30,000 to over $1.5 million per vessel. Saves both time and money.

    I understand Russia (Rosatom) charges a 6 digit toll on this route, but I have not seen hard numbers.

    This sounds awesome. Can anyone comment on the plethora of negative articles seemingly trying to balance out this positive news with the cargo ship fire in China 2 days ago? Orchestrated media manipulation or coincidence? Not a conspiracy theorist just curious
