They are moving this type of ship packed in 3 giant boxes from where’s it made to the port here to be shipped to South Korea.


No they are not.

That ship weighs several million pounds and is 700L'x200W'x300H' it won't fit on the road in three boxes.

Not to mention the absurdity of moving a “ship” through Houston for transport to South Korea. Drillships kind of have their own built-in mode of transportation.

Yea, I wasn't even going to entertain that, I figured most people could figure it out themselves.

Isn't Fed Ex or UPS better suited to handle this shipping? Hell even Amazon Prime could ship this within 2 days to South Korea!
