Most postindustrial countries have stopped producing and opted to buy goods from other countries. Buying implies that they have to ship, and without shipping, there will be no commodities like food, clothes fuel.

Without the ships, the world would not operate efficiently. Freight shipping has been revolutionary, just like the internet, but it remains unnoticed. Apart from public scrutiny, shipping is suspected of illegal activities and suspicious operators.

It’s a culprit of acoustic pollution, air poisoning, and water infestation yet environmentally unjustified.

The novel talks about the shipping section of the capitalist world. Lovers of shipping will find the book more enjoyable, but anyone can still enjoy it while learning some new things. Rose George takes the reader on a journey with a massive container ship known as Maersk Kendal.

She states how the industry is very risky, virtually unregulated, and poorly paid, with ships registered under the countries with low taxes and fewer port inspectors. Security is her major issue in shipping since only a small percentage of the containers are inspected, and that’s why they are used to smuggle illegal goods, especially weapons.
