#Used shipping containers in Hamburg

The Orlop

Large merchant ships with a fixed deck are documented as early as the 13th century. This deck was called an averlop or overloop. In the course of the 17th and 18th centuries, the height of the deck in relation to the waterline changed. Until then, it was not only the lowest deck in general, but also the lowest gun deck. Below this began the so-called space, which could be divided by planking or could also have a light and therefore watertight deck. The overlop could be covered by a canopy. It is not clear from the sources whether this deck was given its own name. The term ‘Verdeck’ also generally refers to a deck and Dutch sources usually only contain descriptive lists of decks. In German usage in the 17th century, there is also no evidence of a distinction between decks by name. In Hamburg in 1685, all decks were described as overlop (‘overflow’). In Röding's dictionary of 1798, overlop is translated as overflow and generally as deck. In contrast, the English orlop is translated in the same work as Kuhbrücke ( cow bridge - where the cattle were housed) under the lowest deck.

The orlop deck was used as an ideal storage area and at the same time as a recreation room for some of the ship's crew. As the deck did not have to be cleared or remodelled during combat operations, cabins and rooms located here were permanent and could even be locked. The purser could therefore store his valuable or dangerous items (small arms) here, and the surgeon his medical items (medicines, instruments), so that they were protected from unauthorised access. As the deck was below the waterline, it was one of the safest places on board during a battle. For this reason, the ship's surgeon often had his workshop down there, as he could do his work unhindered by the fighting and the wounded were brought to him on the orlop deck.

Can I have seperate moodboards for Radlynn, Sarge Fan, and LePete?

https://fliplinestudios.fandom.com/wiki/Radlynn

https://fliplinestudios.fandom.com/wiki/Sarge_Fan

https://fliplinestudios.fandom.com/wiki/LePete

Radlynn (Papa Louie) aesthetic board for @sam-rexian

“Radlynn is a rambunctious teen who grew up in Oniontown. Her strange affinity for radishes can be traced back to when she was approached by a mysterious man in a wide brim hat. He asked Radlynn to watch a crate of hamburger buns for a few hours. In return she was given a shoebox containing 5 "radish" coins, 3 paper clips, 2 mismatched buttons, some sawdust, and a gently used knitted hat.”

Sarge Fan (Papa Louie) aesthetic board for @sam-rexian

“This mischievous customer is absolutely obsessed with Sarge and can always be found parading around town in his green army helmet. With the help of Quinn, he had his name legally changed to Sarge D. Fan. When Sarge Fan heard of Papa's Freezeria opening up, he personally petitioned to have his favorite candy, Gummy Onions, on the menu.”

LePete (Papa Louie) aesthetic board for @sam-rexian

“Pete is a troublesome teen who hangs around the boat docks of Calypso Island. He’s always trying to make some extra money and routinely takes on odd jobs around the harbor. One day, Captain Cori hired Pete to help clean up the S.S. Louie after Radley Madish and his goons tried to hijack the ship. There, Pete found a crumbled up poster of Luau LePunch that had made its way through the portal from Neapolitown. From that point on, he changed his name to LePete and became overly obsessed with this boxing brute from the Land of Munchmore.”

Chapter 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gentle breeze stroked (Y/N)'s face as she stood on the ship's deck; the sun hitting her soft skin and leaving a nice warm feeling on it. She wasn't a pirate nor a criminal of any sort, she was a traveler.

Her journey started from Pyua, the island she was born on, it wasn't that vast, and it mostly was a touristic island where people went during the holiday to unwind from their boring work life. Even pirates went there just to take a break and rest, before leaving for their next adventure; hearing them speak about the things they had seen and fought made (Y/N)'s heartbeat go faster, that's one of the reasons she decided to leave and start a solo journey.

That morning she was heading for one of the milestones of pirates, the Sabaody Archipelago. She heard so many stories about it and its weird bubbles that came up from the ground and went all the way up into the sky, before popping; (Y/N) was ready to visit such a unique island, she studied the map the staff gave her when she boarded and marked the areas she wanted to avoid if possible, aka the Lawless zone from Grove 1 to Grove 29. If she ended up there, she could protect herself, I mean what kind of idiot would go travelling alone without knowing how to fight? Especially in some islands where you could easily be abducted and sold as a slave.

«Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to land on the Sabaody Archipelago, you'll be able to see the different zones this amazing archipelago is divided into. As you can see the area from Grove 1 to Grove 29 is marked in red, we recommend you don't go there unless you're looking for trouble», the captain went on, talking about some curious facts about the archipelago.

(Y/N) was getting excited she could hardly contain herself, once she set foot on the ground, she looked up and saw a curtain of big bubbles on top of the mangroves.

"This will be amazing, I can't wait to see it all", with a bounce in her steps she went to her first destination.

Exploring and learning was fun, but it was even better with a full stomach. (Y/N) decided to stop at a court food inside the mall, there were many options, but she was looking for something to eat on the go; after spending almost half an hour deciding what to get, she stuck with a simple hamburger and a soda. Not the healthiest choice, but she could eat it while walking around.

She was in awe at almost everything she saw; it was amazing how the people living there used the bubbles to build houses, to make transportation devices, to coat ships so they could go underwater. After finishing her lunch, (Y/N) found a place to stop and write everything down, she was also looking for a place to develop the pictures she took.

"Is that...", speeding up she found herself at the entrance of a Luna Park, "Woah! It's incredible!".

Seeing all those lights and hearing all those sounds of joy made (Y/N)'s brain overload, she stood still with a grin on her face as she kept moving her head taking in as much as she could. She took a picture before deciding to have some fun; the rollercoaster was first, then the haunted house followed by the log ride, then to relax a bit she rode the carousel, leaving the Ferris Wheel for last.

(Y/N) was waiting in line, she felt a little out of place as she stepped on one of the cabins alone. Everybody else had a group of friends, a partner or a family member to go with.

She took a few pictures of the panorama when she was at the highest point of the ride, it went slowly so it was easy to take good photos.

"Mom, dad, I wish you could see it too", pushing back tears she got off and sat on a bench to write in her journal.

(Y/N) was enjoying the lively atmosphere of the park when a little girl running in front of her tripped, she started weeping as soon as she pushed her face off the ground. (Y/N) being a good person, immediately went up to her with a worried expression on her face.

«Are you alright, sweetheart?», picking the little girl up and letting her sit on the bench, she looked at the scraped bleeding knees of the girl.

«There, there, don't cry. It's going to be alright, where are your parents?», offering her a lollipop, (Y/N) carefully disinfected the wounds and bandaged them.

«They should be around here, I got lost so I started running to look for my family», the little girl calmed down as she sucked on the sweet.

(Y/N) looked around, no one seemed to have noticed the tripping child nor the fact that she was hurt.

«I can help you find your family», she made sure the bandages were secured.

The girl gave a big smile and chuckled, before thanking her.

«I'm Baby 5, what's your name?», the little girl said before taking her hand.

«I'm (Y/N)», thinking nothing of the girl's weird name, she simply answered.

At some point, Baby 5's legs got tired so (Y/N) started carrying her on her shoulders, which gave the little girl a better view of the park. During their walk together, they started talking and asking each other questions. Apparently Baby 5 wanted to know her better and declared they were friends now; (Y/N) laughed at that statement but assured the girl they were.

"Children, they think everyone who is kind to them is their friend", she thought while Baby 5 kept talking about each of her family members.

«I see them! Over there!», Baby 5 shouted, pointing at a slim lady with a short, dark pink dress, a set of garters on her left leg, and a coat draped on her shoulders. Beside her two children, one with a large physique and buckteeth, the other was smaller with pale skin and dark hair.

(Y/N) felt almost intimidated by the lady, but she gathered up her courage and walked up to her.

«Giolla-san! I'm here!», Baby 5 ran up to her as soon as (Y/N) put her to the ground.

The lady turned around and hugged the little girl, sending a thankful look towards (Y/N).

«Giolla, she's my friend, (Y/N). She was very kind, you know? My knees were scraped and bleeding, but she bandaged them», she pointed to her knees.

(Y/N)'s face was starting to change colour, becoming redder by the second. Then Baby 5 turned back to her, introducing her to the other two children: Buffalo and Law.

«Thank you for helping, Baby 5», Giolla beamed.

«It was nothing, I just...», she cleared her throat, «I must go now. It was nice meeting all of you».

She bowed and turned around, ready to leave that awkward situation.

«Aww, don't leave, please», Baby 5 laced herself on her leg, making (Y/N) lose her balance for a second.

«You have to go back home, little one, with your family. I can't stay with you», she tried to gently pull her off her leg.

However, Baby 5 was adamant about her staying, she gripped her leg tighter. It looked like a scene out of a cartoon, Baby 5 attached to (Y/N)'s leg as she was trying to find a way to gently rip her off it, while sweating like crazy because she didn't want to hurt the girl or make the lady angry.

«Oh, are we playing piling?», Buffalo misinterpreted the situation.

(Y/N)'s eyes widened as her lungs got crushed by the larger kid. And there she was, lying on the ground, a child on her leg and one on her stomach, both laughing, finding the situation hilarious; while (Y/N) was crying on the inside, asking herself why she didn't run off as soon as she noticed Baby 5 coming for her leg.

«What's happening here?», a shadow loomed over the pile of bodies.

Giolla greeted the man, calling him 'Young master' or something like that.

«We are playing», Buffalo exclaimed, followed by the two children laughs.

(Y/N) was there, praying for someone to just free her from that situation. Limiting herself to study the funny looking man: tall, extremely tall, tanned, a ridiculous pink feathered coat, sunglasses, a weird walk and a grin that showed his pearly white teeth.

"He looks familiar", she would read newspapers and look at wanted posters rarely, that's why he didn't recognize him at first.

«This is my friend, (Y/N)», Baby 5 pointed out.

«It's a pleasure to meet you, sir», she responded with a strangled voice, since her lungs were still being crushed under Buffalo.

The children finally got off her, she took a deep breath, coughing a bit.

«Sorry», the children mumbled.

«Heh, it's ok», she smiled.

She had a sensation in the pit of her stomach, you know, when something that will change your life is about to happen. That's what she was feeling.

«You're good with kids, I see», the foxy laugh of the Warlord made her skin crawl.

«I suppose, sir», she was ready to die right there was an understatement.

(Y/N) was ready to die, go to hell and be reborn.

«Do you have a job now?», he was eying her, she could feel it even if he had sunglasses on.

«No, sir, I left home some years ago to travel», her heart was ready to explode, and her legs were about to give up.

«Well», he circled around her, «Looks like you don't have much on you, your clothes are old, dirty and ruined».

She felt like a prey under the gaze of a feral hunter.

«Come work for me, we need someone to care for the children, they cause troubles sometimes», he offered as he let out another short laugh.

«Pleaseeee, say yes», Baby 5 was looking at her with big pleading eyes.

(Y/N) was ready to pass out, she was scared that Doflamingo would kill her if she turned down his offer.

«I accept your offer, thank you», her stomach turned as Doflamingo's smile widened, if that was even possible.

"I'm fucked"

[liliallowed]

slay the princess is so sansanomoly.

spoilers for the game btw:

I'm sorry I just can't unthink a scenario where sans is tasked to kill the anomaly cuz they will end the world.

but by killing them the world resets and ends, by sparing them it also ends, there's also the option of letting them out but that's a true reset...

all in all? I think he'd say fuck you to all three options and like... hang out.

like, just casually take a nap in the dungeon while talking to the anomaly.

the guy's too lazy to do anything 😭

and the greater collective consciousness of the player's routes would probably still linger. while the vessel is just salty he's being a troll.

he's not gonna fall for it lmao. he's just going like, abandon all logic and just defy physics as he does, going out of bounds to bring them a hamburger. or like... carry their heart in a safely contained space vacuum. around in a vessel that... maybe WON'T end the world when they escape containment...

he KNOWS how to manipulate the anomaly too.

it's a loop but I think he's going to stay calm and instead of blaming the narrator or the anomaly just... look for a solution with them. a compromise.

he knows how they tick. if he makes an interesting world or story, the anomaly will be curious and let the world live.

all in all, I think sans would even use the anomaly to his advantage. get a desired outcome. try risking for something.

maybe challenge them to reset. make bets.

he knows you're not a demon. he knows you're not an angel. just a chaotic entity who searches for more pieces and braches of the world and it's outcomes.

a timeline hopping explorer or a destroyer of worlds... when you're entire existence is based of a flimsy desire to be or not to be flickering between the two states I don't think sans would actually care.

he'd do what he can to preserve the world but SAVE it? that ain't his responsibility. it's yours.

also I keep imagining the skelly with an elderich horror monster 100 handed doll figure just casually sitting next to each other eating ice cream.

now to the slay the princess game itself!

anyways. I love these ships.

the princess does make a connection to us the player. she thinks we are similar. and we are! both even have the same motives in fact. she just... has more terrifying features with her vessel. ours is just a faceless blob of grey matter... so maybe we're both kinda creepy???

gurl you don't scare me. in fact. I already have my Dr strange "I'VE COME TO FUCKING BARGAIN" card ready to go. let's talk time loops. it's either me and you. so if you think IM scared of that? I PLAYED GENOCIDE FOR BREAKFAST BABY COME AT ME!

oh boi... you'd be surprised how many times I can endure the same conversation:3.

fite me! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A TIME LOOP DUEL!

I'm sorry that's cringe...

anyways I love this game. (saw a playthrough. didn't play it myself)

but I can definitely see a cross over... or would like to make one.

imagining dusttale player just looking at the princess face like it's their avrage Tuesday routine...

while the "hero" and dust stare at each other finding comradery in the voices in their heads.

also dust would yeet the princess into the void...

and player would probably get stabbed by the heros blade with a smug grin to show off they're also cursed with reset powers.

okay literally any of these four traumatized loop bound poor babies are gonna be hilarious to see interact

Tusk-a-looser

As the Azure Dragon circled the deck of the Ariadnan mega-freighter, roiling smoke clouds revealed that someone had deliberately re-ignited the engine fires that had been carefully extinguished on the Durian Inspector’s last visit to the Agile Chipmunk. Even the Pan Oceanian forces had seemed to want the fires out, so it seemed some other crisis actor must want to reverse our work, fanning the flames and pushing the fecund Hypatian Megalobsters back into a breeding frenzy. The optical system’s of Yue Fei’s visor let him scan for clues amongst the cargo strewn across the deck, even through the thick smoke clouds. Adult lobsters were still present in their hundreds and fresh smears of white eggs were plastered near the engine fires, continuing to hatch small, slimy, lobster larvae in the heat.

They weren’t the only local fauna in evidence, two blubbery Hypatian Walruses had managed to get onto the ship and were greedily gulping down lobsters, larvae and clumps of eggs as fast as they could. Despite the huge amounts the walruses could eat, it looked like there were now so many lobsters it would hardly made a difference.

Where the young lobsters could find food they were already growing fast. The side of a shipping container marked with a cartoon hamburger had been torn open somehow and the floor inside was a writhing mass of orange shells, claws and legs amongst empty food packaging.

Elsewhere on the deck, what appeared to be the skeleton of a huge bear had been picked completely clean. Dirty white bones propped up a few armor plates, twitching creepily as two adolescent lobsters almost a foot long tried to untangle themselves from shreds of bloodied camo fatigues. The Ariadnans had been here, for sure, but crazy as they were they wouldn’t want to destroy their own ship. Then, as he scanned over to the far side of the huge ship, he spotted something. The giant, hulking silhouette of an old model Maghariba Guard TAG was jutting out behind a tower. Strange — Haqqislam command had assured him they wouldn’t be anywhere near Dock #619. A couple of Brawler lookouts on a nearby building provided the answer: these were mercenaries. Dahshat Company most likely, and almost certainly one of the groups on Brutus’s payroll. If anyone was going to start fires and profit from the chaos rather than put them out, it was these guys.

Dahshat brought some very heavy armament with formidable visor-equipped shooting power in the form of the Brawler link and Rui Shi. Fiddler looked more than capable of zooming into the midfield and causing trouble with the engines. The tendency for retired Invincible Army units to freelance as mercenaries is disturbing, though it is official policy of the ISS to always track down and cancel their military pensions if they���re caught fighting against us. Bad news for this Hulang, almost certainly.

Invincible Army liason Daoying Li handled a quick debarkation of the Yu Jing forces onto the ship. Crossing the Agile Chipmunk and getting through the smoke to the fires had proved that sniper rifles and multispectral visors were a winning combination, so every mercenary sniper in the DIU’s books had been packed into this task force.

The DIU’s new Su Jian was sent to escort Krit and keep walruses off his back as he put out the fires. Le Muet and Knauf staked out a building on the right flank with some long firelanes across the battlefield and Lunah concealed herself close to a Long Ya, trying her best to look like a mine. A Haidao took the left flank, keeping an eye through the smoke on a Rui Shi, which would obviously cause trouble if it could close to an effective Spitfire range.

[Dahshat chose first turn. Yu Jing set up four snipers, three of them threading angles across the table to force them to be dealt with before putting out engine fires. Knauf was kept prone for now.]

He doesn’t talk much, but 5% of the time, Le Muet earns 1000% of his fee, and this was one of those days. The engagement opened with the Brawler sniper lining up a shot against him. He calmly responded by putting an explosive Double Action round right between their eyes. [“Game got hard”, commented Dahshat’s general.]

The unexpected death of the Brawler Sniper threw the Dahshat plans into some disarray. Le Muet commanded a long firelane across the table and could prevent Fiddler and the Hulang from making it forward to their objectives. A Ghulam fired some smoke grenades to cover off a Long Ya’s sightline, then with a clunking gait, the crablike form of the Maghariba Guard started to cross the table, confident that it could survive some shooting from Le Muet while getting to an angle to engage the Haidao.

[Moving the Maghariba seemed reasonable, but the “mine” in front of the central Long Ya was actually another sniper...] The Maghariba hadn’t reckoned on a second visor sniper - Lunah revealed herself and damaged it with a viral shot.The crab tank was now effectively pinned down between two master snipers and unable to effectively shoot back through the smoke.

Trying to find a way to unlock the deadly sniper overwatch, the Evo Pangguling set Assisted Fire on the Rui Shi and it stepped out to engage the Haidao at bad range. The first shot was reasonably lucky, putting a wound on the Haidao.

Breaking cover to get to closer range turned out to be another unlucky move though, as the Haidao made his second shot and knocked the Rui Shi out of action. The Maghariba pulled back to cover and Lunah damaged it again. Valerya shot a pitcher into the backfield and Fiddler repositioned. [The game had been hard with the Brawler gone, but with the Rui Shi down and the Maghariba pinned in place, it was looking pretty impossible. To make matters worse, the Rui Shi’s unconscious body blocked the path forwards for the Maghariba. The Maghariba had one STR remaining and couldn’t get to a spot out of LoF of the snipers. MSV snipers also covered all the alleys for enginees to get to the TAG. First turn passed to Yu Jing.]

Le Muet quickly garnished his reputation by wrecking the Maghariba Guard through the smoke, putting it well past the point where an engineer could repair it. Listening carefully to Daoying Li, Krit and the Su Jian ran out bravely in front of the Walruses and extinguished two of the fires. 

The Su Jian found a nice angle to fire a Panzerfaust into Valerya Gromoz and made sure the Rui Shi was not going to get repaired, then the two of them ran back to a fairly safe spot behind the sniper curtain. Knauf decided there weren’t enough long range threats to cower prone and took up position on the roof of Le Muet’s tower. [Yu Jing turn one ended in a stupidly strong position, with 4 snipers and two Long Ya criss crossing the table with AROs and all the Dahshat snipers and hmgs dead. 3 points were locked in for the mission.]

Dahshat thought out an impressive sequence of hail mary saves, then started working through them one by one. One of the diggers ran forward impetuously and was extremely lucky to survive a critical hit from the Su Jian’s last panzerfaust shot. Miranda Ashcroft decided to catwalk through Knauf’s line of fire, and got shot for her fashion choices. Probably not for the first time. The Rafiq then spent quite some time lining up a triangulated fire shot at extreme range on one of the Long Ya remotes only for both of them to find out that it was over the maximum range on their weapons. Realizing the Long Ya didn’t have it pinned down gave the Rafiq a chance to reposition and shoot at the Su Jian, which was armored heavily enough not to care and simply repositioned out of sight. [Dahshat weren’t able to turn the tables back much in turn 2]

[Yu Jing turn 2] The Haidao moved forwards and shot a Ghulam and the EVO Pangguling, then got a line to put a wound on the rogue Hulang. Unfortunately, that last rather aggressive positioning put him in the line of fire of Fiddler’s two jackbots, who managed to gun him down. A Kuang Shi moved up and knocked out the Rafiq. The Shang Ji set up in suppressive fire, to make approaching the Yu Jing console almost impossible. [Dahshat turn 3] Without many options to get to the Yu Jing console, Fiddler made her way forwards, carefully, and dodged through fire onto the Dahshat console. The Hulang killed the Kuang Shi threatening it and fiddler repaired the Rafiq.

[YJ Turn 3]

Lunah and Knauf were able to shoot Fiddler off the Dahshat console and Krit had a brief conversation with a High Value Target. Victory went to Yu Jing, and Le Muet received a hefty performance related bonus. My Liu Xing dropped into my own deployment zone. [Le Muet’s unreasonable good luck at the start of this game put it on a very unequal footing that snowballed fast. IceCream is a fantastic general though, hanging in there and attempting to wring everything out of her models to stop me from scoring. We both think the mission would be more fun if the exclusion zone was a lot smaller, it pretty much cripples the normal midfield game and reduces options for countering snipers]

Yu Jing 10 - Dahshat 0 Yu Jing 365 VP remaining Dahshat 133 VP remaining

The Agile Chipmunk once more under Yu Jing control, Hsien Yue Fei took a moment to inspect the surly Hypatian Walruses. It seemed prudent to leave them to consume as many young lobsters as they could manage, with a little luck they could limit the numbers that spread to the rest of the straits.

National Double Cheeseburger Day

Easily one of the best comments in the history of mankind, a proper lauding of the combination of perfectly seasoned hamburger topped with rich and creamy cheese. And then making it into a double cheeseburger takes it to the extreme.

Of course, if there’s one thing that most people have learned it’s that there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing. That’s why National Double Cheeseburger Day exists. Because some bright individual decided that the only thing better than a cheeseburger would be making it into a double cheeseburger!

For anyone who has ever needed an excuse to enjoy one (and honestly, most people don’t) this is it! Happy National Double Cheeseburger Day!

History of National Double Cheeseburger Day

National Double Cheeseburger Day was made to celebrate the birth of the double cheeseburger, and by extension the cheeseburger itself.

While it may seem the most natural thing in the world to add cheese to a hamburger these days, originally a hamburger was a very simple affair. Simply meat, bread and condiments were pretty much all that a hamburger had going for it.

The first person who is said to have created the cheeseburger was Lionel Sternberger in Pasadena, California. The story goes that Lionel created it while working at his father’s sandwich shop in 1926 when he was only 16 years old. A sizzling piece of hamburger seemed to be just begging for something a little extra, and so a piece of cheese was added to see what came out.

What came out, obviously, was magic. It wasn’t long before someone realized that a single sizzling patty of hamburger topped with melting cheese wasn’t the best thing in life, not when you could have two sizzling patties of hamburger topped with melting cheese!

The birth of the double cheeseburger was as inevitable as the cheeseburger itself, and National Double Cheeseburger Day celebrates it all!

How to Celebrate National Double Cheeseburger Day

Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things, like a double cheeseburger.

Anyone can enjoy celebrating National Double Cheeseburger Day in a variety of ways that will keep their taste buds and their bellies happy! Try out these ideas or come up with some other creative ones:

Eat a Double Cheeseburger

Well, start off that National Double Cheeseburger Day by having a Double Cheeseburger obviously! There’s no reason you can’t enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Well, aside from a little concern about an expanding waistline, but who has time to worry about things like that?

Making cheeseburgers at home is pretty easy. Or head out to a restaurant that might offer a discount for National Double Cheeseburger Day. Many restaurants have various discounts on the day (or throughout the month) offering deals on this delicious sandwich. In the past, some McDonald’s restaurants (particularly in the US) have been known to offer cheeseburgers for an extra low price in honor of the day.

Share a Double Cheeseburger

What could be better than sharing this fun day with friends, family or coworkers? Even if it isn’t realistic to share an actual cheeseburger with someone (because most people want to keep them to themselves!), it certainly would mean a lot to remind them of the day and get them one of their own. Whether sharing or not, enjoying a double cheeseburger with a loved one is a perfect way to celebrate the day.

Learn Some Fun Facts About Cheeseburgers

Who knew that some people believe the cheeseburger was actually invented in Denver, Colorado in the USA,? Get into the spirit of National Double Cheeseburger Day by learning and sharing these fun pieces of trivia and facts.

One of the largest cheeseburgers ever made weighs in at an almost unbelievable 1800 pounds. It was created by Mallie��s Sports Bar in 2017. To make it, the restaurant had to convert a shipping container into an oven so that there would be room to cook the whole thing. Even today, a burger this size can be ordered off of the menu–for a mere $10,000, with a 3-day order ahead policy.

Several US cities claim to have invented the cheeseburger, including Denver, Colorado; Louisville, Kentucky; and Pasadena, California (as mentioned above).

While a cheeseburger can be made with almost any kind of cheese topping it, according to a survey most Americans actually prefer the most predictable one–American cheese. It melts well and provides a tasty flavor on top of the burger patty.

Jimmy Buffett wrote the song “Cheeseburger in Paradise” about a time when he was stuck on a boat in bad weather and only had canned food, making him dream of the day when he could have a cheeseburger again. Now there’s an entire restaurant chain named after this song!

Get Creative with National Double Cheeseburger Day

For those who have a double cheeseburger on most days, this day might be one to take things a step further into the adventurous path! For the truly daring, it might just be time to try a double cheeseburger topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of chili. Never heard of a chili-double-cheeseburger? Well, National Double Cheeseburger Day is the ideal chance to try one, and that’s just the first step!

Let the imagination run wild and mix up the cheeses and toppings that go together to create the perfect, personal hamburger masterpiece! National Double Cheeseburger Day is the best time for it–so get started!

WHY SEA FREIGHT IS INCREASING IN MID OF 2024? 1. Overview of the Current Ocean Freight Cost Situation Sea freight is a crucial component of global trade, carrying over 80 percent of the world’s goods. As of mid-2024, have seen a significant spike in sea freight rates from Asia, with prices continuing to rise. This surge in container shipping rates has dramatically impacted global trade, leading to substantial economic repercussions for businesses and consumers alike.

The Index, which includes eight route-specific indices and a composite index, all reported in U.S. dollars per 40-foot container, highlights the dramatic fluctuations in container freight rates between January 2023 and March 2024. The lowest rate was recorded on October 26, 2023, at just 1,342 U.S. dollars per 40-foot container. However, since that time, global freight rates have steadily increased, reaching a record high of over 4,200 U.S. dollars in May 2024. This rise reflects broader disruptions and systemic issues within global supply chains, further exacerbated by a 9.2% increase in market demand in the first quarter (Q1) of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Between the start of April and mid May, spot rates have risen significantly: from the Far East to North Europe by 30%, the US West Coast by 30%, the Mediterranean by 22%, and the US East Coast by 21%. Analysts predict that rates to Europe, currently between $6,000 and $7,500, may reach $10,000. This escalation in shipping costs has created market turmoil, with spot rates to Europe increasing by 6% in the previous week alone. This rise in shipping costs can be attributed to various factors, including rising fuel prices, supply chain disruptions, and increased demand for transportation services. To understand the situation more comprehensively, it is essential to delve into the specific causes behind these factors and how they collectively contribute to the surge in freight rates. 2. Key Reasons for the Increase in Sea Freight Costs 2.1. Geopolitical Tensions in the Red Sea The Asia-Europe shipping route, one of the world’s major trade routes, has been significantly affected by geopolitical instability around the Red Sea. Heightened regional conflicts, particularly the Houthi attacks on commercial vessels, have forced shipping companies to reroute vessels to longer, safer paths. The Houthis, supported by Iran, have been targeting foreign-owned ships, especially those perceived to be heading to Israel, using drones and rockets in the Bab al-Mandab strait. In response, US and UK naval forces have launched air strikes against Houthi targets in Yemen to protect these vital shipping lanes.

To avoid these dangers, major shipping firms such as Mediterranean Shipping Company and Maersk have diverted their vessels around Africa's Cape of Good Hope. This detour has significantly increased transit times by more than 15%, adding at least 10 days to the journey from Asia to Europe. The extended route also leads to increased fuel consumption and operational costs, further inflating shipping expenses. Freight costs to major European ports like Felixstowe, Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Antwerp have more than doubled. This situation has created a 10-15% capacity gap on the this critical route, severely impacting global supply chains and contributing to the surge in freight rates. The longer journeys not only extend shipping times but also cost companies millions of dollars, adding to the overall rise in sea freight costs. 2.2. US Sanctions on Chinese Imports US sanctions on Chinese imports have disrupted trade flows and global supply chains, contributing to the volatility of shipping rates. These measures aim to curb China's technological advancements and limit its military capabilities by restricting access to advanced technologies such as semiconductors and supercomputing items, preventing their use in military applications. Additionally, many Chinese firms, including major tech companies like Huawei and ZTE, have been added to the US Entity List, restricting American businesses from selling to these Chinese firms. The U.S. election has been claiming future tariffs of 50%-60% on Chinese cargo, The tariffs imposed on Chinese goods have made importing these products more expensive. To mitigate these costs, some companies have shifted their supply chains to other regions, such as South America. As Chinese companies increase their investments in South America to circumvent US tariffs, there is a heightened demand for shipping resources on these routes. This shift strains global shipping capacity, driving up freight rates due to the limited availability of shipping resources. (The Diplomat) (China Briefing).

Currently, The cost of shipping from major Chinese ports to the US has seen a substantial rise. For instance, shipping a 40HQ container from China to Los Angeles now costs around $5,500-$6,500, while to New York, it ranges from $7,000-$8,500. This is a direct result of increased tariffs and the need to navigate more complex trade routes. 2.3. Congestion at the Port of Singapore Recent months have seen significant congestion at the Port of Singapore, the world’s second-largest port. This congestion has led to increased shipping times and higher freight costs, affecting trade within Asia as well as between Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Key factors contributing to this congestion include a substantial rise in container volumes, with nearly an 8% increase in the first five months of 2024 compared to 2023. This surge has pushed the port's utilization rate to nearly 90%, causing productivity declines due to overcrowding. Schedule reliability is still far from pre-pandemic levels, with Q1 on-time performance at just 27%. This, combined with congestion, port omissions, delays, and missed departures, has severely impacted equipment availability at export hubs.

Additionally, the crisis in the Red Sea has forced ships to detour around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope, adding time and fuel costs. These disruptions have led to off-schedule arrivals in Asia, worsening congestion at major hubs like Singapore. Extended wait times have also become a significant issue, with ships now waiting up to seven days for a berth compared to the usual half-day. Delays have caused shortages of containers and essential equipment, as ships remain in port longer than scheduled, complicating logistics and driving up costs. Furthermore, US sanctions and tariffs on Chinese goods have led to a rush in shipping ahead of trade curbs, adding to the volume and congestion. These factors collectively strain the port’s capacity, driving up freight rates and impacting global supply chains. (Maritime Executive) (CNA) (KWE) 3. Impact on Businesses and Consumers The significant increase in freight transportation costs has profound implications for both businesses and consumers. Companies that rely on shipping goods are now facing higher operational costs, forcing many to reassess their pricing strategies, absorb added expenses, or pass them on to consumers. This results in higher prices for products and services, affecting consumer purchasing power and overall economic stability. Rapidly rising freight costs can disrupt capital chains, especially if buyers expected lower shipping costs when placing orders, leading to abandoned orders and potential bankruptcies. For sellers, the impact is equally severe. Sellers with CNF (Cost and Freight) orders face higher shipping costs, reducing profits or even resulting in losses. For FOB (Free On Board) orders, buyers might delay shipping due to high freight rates, causing cash flow issues for sellers. End customers may see higher prices and possibly reduced product quality as businesses adjust to increased shipping expenses. This dynamic creates a ripple effect throughout the supply chain, influencing market stability and economic health. To cope with rising shipping costs, businesses need strategic responses. Buyers should consider waiting for rates to stabilize if goods are not seasonal or urgent, and maintain communication with freight forwarders to stay updated on rate changes and cargo availability. Sellers should focus on cash flow management, maintaining close communication with freight forwarders and customers to manage expectations and avoid surprises. Freight forwarders must ensure timely payment and inform customers promptly about port congestion and rapid changes in freight rates to prevent abandoned goods. By staying informed and proactive, companies can navigate the complexities of the global supply chain and mitigate the adverse effects of rising shipping costs.

In summary, the recent increase in sea freight costs can be attributed to geopolitical tensions, particularly in the Red Sea, US sanctions on Chinese imports, and significant congestion at key ports like Singapore. These disruptions have led to longer transit times, increased operational costs, and strained global shipping capacity, driving up freight rates.

Learning from Delays Due to Unclear Requirements, Sunny Worldwide Freight Forwarder China Grows Stronger

I remember when I first started in the freight forwarding business, I took an order from Shenzhen to Copenhagen. The client didn’t specify whether the shipment was urgent or not, just that it should be cheap. I was thrilled to finally get an order. There are many freight forwarder China companies, and the client chose us after careful consideration, finding us reliable. As a member of Sunny Worldwide Freight Forwarder China, I was confident. I was happy to get the order, but due to my lack of experience, I didn’t ask detailed questions. I chose MCS Shipping Line instead of COSCO Shipping Line. COSCO’s ships include scheduled and non-scheduled services. Scheduled services depart and arrive on time, while non-scheduled services might be delayed. At the destination, non-scheduled services might face slow container pickup and other issues. Due to my inexperience and the client's lack of urgency, I chose a slower shipping company.

After more than ten days, the Norwegian client called me, asking if the goods should have arrived. I was stunned and replied no. The client became anxious, raising his voice: "These goods are urgent! They need to arrive by the 20th for a meeting with a client. Aren’t you a responsible freight forwarder China? Why is this so slow? You’ll have to take responsibility for the delay!”

I was taken aback because the ship was already at sea and couldn’t be changed. I was anxious and sought help from my manager. The manager understood the situation and tried to find a solution. When the ship arrived in Rotterdam, we quickly transferred the goods to the fastest available ship, managing to salvage the situation.

I gradually learned that understanding the client’s requirements and deadlines is crucial, placing their needs first. Freight forwarder China companies vary in quality and service. So, when clients request quotes, I first clarify their needs and then develop a suitable plan. We often say "urgent as the client is urgent," but this is based on fully understanding their needs. Otherwise, even if the client accepts the quoted price, subsequent services might be chaotic, and the client wouldn’t return. Becoming a trustworthy freight forwarder China isn’t just talk.

Sunny Worldwide Freight Forwarder China has joined international freight forwarder alliances such as WCA and serves as vice president of 13 freight forwarding associations, demonstrating strong foreign trade logistics capabilities. Few Chinese freight forwarder China companies can achieve this. These alliances have agents worldwide, providing door-to-door services. For instance, last week we had a shipment to Ecuador, requiring a local agent. Using these platforms, we contacted a local agent for assistance. The benefit of these platforms is their credibility; if an agent's service is inadequate, the platform helps coordinate and even supports us in claims, ensuring better service on both sides.

We often hear about small freight forwarder China companies in villages running away with clients' money. They offer attractive prices, collect the goods, but don’t pay the shipping company or upstream partners, then abscond with the funds. This leaves clients paying double freight charges to retrieve their goods. Joining freight forwarding alliances involves scrutiny of member companies, reducing such risks. When members cooperate, there is mutual trust.

Sunny Worldwide Freight Forwarder China uses its self-developed ERP software for inventory management, sharing interfaces and data with clients, making us unique in the domestic market. We have our logistics fleet, not just a small village freight forwarder, and operate from an 1800-square-meter Grade A office building in Shenzhen, one of the few in the industry.

When dealing with European clients, there are many remote points. All remote points are transferred from basic ports like Hamburg, Germany; Fos, France; and Southampton, UK. Local remote points are transferred from basic points using various methods like rail, road, or sea. During transfers, additional costs and unexpected issues can arise, testing the service quality of a freight forwarder China. Choosing the appropriate local transportation method—rail, road, or sea—depends on the client's cargo value and delivery requirements.

As a freight forwarder China company with 25 years of experience, we care more about our clients' needs than they do. Our punctuality rate is 99%, barring natural disasters or unforeseen circumstances. If you have international transportation needs, please contact us at jerry@swwlogistics.com.cn. We are confident you will be satisfied.

Bibby Stockholm arriving at the port of Portland, in southern England.

Bibby Stockholm. The ship was built in 1976 and was converted into an accommodation barge in 1992. From 1994 to 1998, it was used to house the homeless, including some asylum seekers, in Hamburg, Germany. In 2005, it began to be used by the Netherlands to detain asylum seekers in Rotterdam. Two detainees died there because of lack of adequate health care.

The vessel which was originally designed to house around 250 people is expected to ultimately house 500 asylum seekers. The plan is for the barge to stay in the port for at least 18 months, containing 506 asylum seekers whose asylum claims are already being considered by the government. The British government says it has plans for two more barges, though it is unclear where they will be docked.
