I never said I had a better solution, although given 15
minutes I could come up with something better than your dumb
idea.
I merely pointed out that your dumb idea of always loaded
containers was the dumbest thing I have read all week.
It's not just dumb, it's unfeasible.

Now that's the dumbest post I've read all year. My idea was not "always
loaded containers." It was to always load or ballast them in a way that they
would always sink if they went overboard. And since you have been thinking
about this for a few days now without posting a better idea, capable only of
casting derision upon those who actually HAVE ideas, I must now consider you
to be incapable of having any ideas of your own.

However, I accept the challenge you yourself proposed: You now have 15
minutes to come up with a better idea.

'Breather tubes' in all eight corners.
However, they must be designed to not let rain water in. And
the reefer units would need some kind of insulation in them.

As has already been pointed out by others, shipping containers are not
airtight or watertight, and fail to sink only because of the buoyancy (if
any) of their contents. "Breather Tubes" to let more air out, or more water
in, will not solve the essential problem. Clock's still ticking.

Well, I gave you half an hour and you've still not come up with a better
idea. Guess you lose, eh? :-D

Scotty was having a battle of wits with a witless twit. How can he possibly
lose? You were un-armed.

And yet he still lost. Hard to believe, innit?
