Here is the Augira Leader, which appears to be the same type of ship, sitting in the Miraflores locks.
My real question is does it make sense to send a ship half full of cars to the other side of the continent? I don't know much about ocean shipping but that seems like poor planning. Never know though, maybe it needs to head that direction anyway.
Does Subaru traditionally move cars via rail cross country? I was under the impression they usually arrive via ship on the east coast. |
That's my thought. The cost of fuel for that size of a container ship in addition to the fees to use the canal have to be pretty high. Maybe the amount of trucks/trains plus their fuel costs are comparable or more expensive? I honestly have no idea.
