That seems to be a lot of
weight in a small space. Port to port is less of a problem for me as the UK is
that much smaller
than the US.
I can get to most of the UK ports in an hour or two.
Indeed. Being in the mid-west, we don't think about ports much. I
can drive to NYC in under 14 hours. Boston is farther. I think the
closest Atlantic port, drive time, would be Baltimore at around, IIRC,
9 hours. Lake Erie ports are close (2ish hours), but would almost
certainly require a shifting of the load to another vessel at an
Atlantic port somewhere.
