Oh, I expect that there is already a queue of ex Naval types for management and consultancy roles.

Thailand used to make shipping containers that meets international standard. If there are money to be made,  I am sure someone will take this on. Non shipping container are still made here.

The so called 'Malacca bypass' is another Thai aspiration that involves building a shipping port on each side of the southern part of the country and linking them with road and rail presumably to trans-ship goods. This is supposed to save two days shipping time on the usual route via the Malacca Strait. The infamous Kra Canal resurrected and shelved every few years is now deemed to be 'to environmentally unfriendly. It has not been explained how the costs of trans-shipping would be cost effective.

Well, obviously, once unloaded ( and therefore empty so faster and more fuel efficient) the ship can nip round past Singapore and up through the Malacca Straits, arriving just in time to pick up the containers which have been trucked over the "Malacca bypass", and deliver them to their eventual destination. 

 

They're not daft these chaps ...
