Can Ma Lin provide 20,000 ships? When they travel without carrying goods, there is no profit, and this kind of expense, can Ma Lin afford it?
Ships of more than 40 meters in length are considered large ships with today's shipbuilding technology.
Ma Lin's own shipyard in Jingzhou produces 400 of these ships a year, and it is already the largest shipyard.
In the past seven years, a total of more than 1,300 ships have been built.
How many can other shipyards produce in total?
Indeed, smaller ship types have higher production, but the number available for ocean transport is limited.
Is it really cost-effective to use these highly profitable ocean-going ships for this purpose?
