So they want to unload, put it on truck or rail, and load it again on the other side? I’m no logistics expert, but I feel like that introduces a lot of complexity compared to the time saved. Like, would this cargo have to go through customs? If not, wouldn’t it be easy to use this to smuggle stuff into and out of the country?
Yeah, I just realized what they intend and am thinking the same thing. It sounds like they intend a closed rail network between the ports to eliminate things like customs, but it’s still gonna take at least a day of processing on each end of that.
I feel like a canal between Ranong and Chumphon wouldn’t be too bad at around 27mi (43km).
