> $3.5 billion cargo.

Wow. Is that a lot for a ship that size or just standard? Anyone know what it was carrying?

Pretty standard.

A couple of containers filled with Cpus, Gpus or other small pricy items adds quickly up hundreds of millions of usd.

The Ever Given was carrying around approx. 18 000 containers

So that is an avarage price of around 150 000 usd, per container. That is equal to around 150 iphones. Or 300 ryzen 5950x cpus.

Here is a reference pic to see how much volume are 150 iphones.

Why does Google have to f.-up the back button? And then they pat themselves on the back for being on the vanguard of web development (I’m on Safari on an iPhone SE).

Because Google think they own the web.

Perhaps it works better in Chrome ? (And that's their intent ?)

I am shocked to see Google use that dark pattern. I even assumed for a second that I was on some kind of fake site that appeared like Google but wasn’t actually them.

This is a mind-boggling number, I didn't realize those ships carried so much load. Insurance premiums must be crazy

It IS mind boggling. Just the engine on these ships is the size of a 3 story building.

Passage fees on the Suez can run up to half a million usd for a ship this size.

At the start of all this I read that it was (nearly) fully loaded container wise, but about half those containers might have been empty.
