Absolutely, the best thing would have been to actually follow a specific, unique product. We tried for one and a half years to get the company where we bought the pedometer to cooperate with us. It was impossible. But we managed to get the company to tell us which route they used in most cases.

In that case, since the ship sailed to China not form China, I find it surprising that the ship arrived full in China. I thought China exports dwarf their imports, and there would have been plenty of times a ship returns below full capacity to China.

I wonder what were they importing on that ship.

If you want goods imported in containers from China, you have to have empty containers in China.

The ship may be full of empty containers.

Are the containers actually full? Or just the empty containers ready to refill?

China imports 80% of their oil, IIRC it's the bulk of their imports

You can't transport oil on a container ship though.
