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?

Most empty containers float due to the trapped air in them.

You guessed wrong

I didn't say my idea was perfect, or even plausible, but it
definitely is WAY better than your stupid idea of ''loading
all containers''.

There is no trapped air in a shipping container. It is not trapped, it
is free to leave and be replaced with water. This is technically known
as flooding and it leads to sinking. Every time.

Whatever you say, Wilbur. Read the thread. From the beginning.
