Shipping costs.
I do know a little on the finished goods side, very little on the aggregate side. We do not know if it will be shipped on bulk container vessels or if the product could be sent in 40 ft. containers on standard container ships. I know first thought is bulk, but if the product is being blended and bagged, it might be ok in a standard container.
Again, I do not know on the aggregate side, but there are MANY standard conainer ships from all around the world that drop the load in US ports and leave back home empty. You will find that it is less expensive to ship products from the US than to the US.
Just a thought.
Another thought and a big WHAT IF. But we are aout to set up a bulk fuel storage facility right? "(gasoline, diesel fuel -- both on road and off road, and possibly aviation bulk fuel)"
Does Komex, Mittal or another partner own a boat fleet? Hrmm.
My head hurts. Going to get outside and "mow de lawn".
