When Charlie introduced the concept of transforming Wanlong Pce, Abbas readily expressed his support.
However, a concern lingered in his mind regarding the profitability of this transformation.
His primary focus wasn’t on making a significant profit at this moment, but rather on the tens of thousands of soldiers dependent on Wanlong Pce for their sustenance. This group incurs substantial costs. If the revamped Wanlong Pce fails to break even, Abbas would struggle to justify the situation to the soldiers.
Yet, after hearing Charlie outline the future potential, Abbas felt a surge of confidence.
He then inquired, “Mr. Wade, are you familiar with thetter two types of international security remuneration? I want to estimate the expected ie fluctuations for Wanlong Pce moving forward.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Charlie replied, “I’m not too familiar with the specifics, but I can look into it right now.”
With that, he quickly pulled out his cell phone and first reached out to Ziva Hank.
Ziva Hank, who has a solid grasp of international shipping and is now managing Yisu Shipping, was well-versed in the current shipping market details.
Once the call connected, Ziva’s excitement was palpable. “Mr. Wade, have you returned to Aurous Hill?” she asked.
Charlie responded, “Yes, I’m back.” He then continued, “Ziva, I’m reaching out to consult with you. Are you aware of the international security fees for securitypanies in the current shipping market?”
Ziva exined, “In the Gulf of Aden, a merchant ship typically requires three to five international security personnel. These security staff are deployed directly onto the ship, and once the vessel sessfully navigates through the Gulf of Aden, a helicopter will retrieve them. This entire process usually takes just a few days, with fees generally around $200,000.”<fn8e8e> The rightful source is Find_Novel(.</fn8e8e>
Charlie was taken aback. “Is it really that high?”
Ziva confirmed, “Yes, that’s just the starting price. Currently, international security rates have increasedpared to before, with simr services now costing approximately $300,000.” She borated that the surge in costs isrgely due to the skyrocketing freight prices in international shipping, which have reached unprecedented levels over the past year.
For instance, the cost to ship a standard container from our southeastern coastal port in China to the Port of Los Angeles has skyrocketed from just over $1,000 to nearly $20,000.
Arge freighter, capable of carrying over 10,000 standard containers, now incurs transportation costs of one to two billion dors when fully loaded. If a vessel can handle over 20,000 containers, the owner begins to see significant profits, making them more willing to invest hundreds of thousands in security to ensure safe passage.
Charlie pressed on with another question, “Are pirate activities in the Gulf of Aden frequent these days?”
She continued, “Pirate activity in that region is relentless. The hotter the shipping market, the more aggressive they be. When they hijack a merchant ship, they typically hold the crew hostage and demand a ransom. This usually starts at several million dors and can sometimes exceed tens of millions. Ship owners often feelpelled to pay, as the alternative could result in substantial losses, potentially losing tens of millions or even billions in freight revenue. Therefore, international security is taken extremely seriously, and nearly all major merchants allocate funds for it.”
Ziva added, “By the way, since the merger with Sujia Shipping Group, we’ve resumed normal shipping operations, and our fleet will also be utilizing international security services.”
Charlie asked, “That’s good to hear. Do the current international securitypanies know about this? Where are their bases generally located?”<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">The Amazing son inw Chapter 3823</h2><h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong></strong></p"yes,>
