Container ships use in the region of 150 to 250 metric tons of fuel per day, so $75,000 to $125,000 in fuel alone.

Spread out over thousands of containers that doesn't seem like a huge penalty.

We'll see, if we care to look which I don't anymore since I'm not involved in sea freight for a while bow, how rates from Asia to Europe change. Because this rate change is what matters, not the additional cost for carriers.

The extra time necessary, thus lower throughout, thus availability issues, will likely be the bigger problem than fuel.
