For over fifty years, the ocean-freight
industry worked to make ocean
freighters faster and to lower their fuel
consumption. Despite considerable
success, the economics of the industry

incongruity between assumptions and
realities. The real costs came not from
time spent at sea, but from time spent
in port during loading and unloading.
Which of the following actions would
be most likely to lead to a solution of
the problem faced by the ocean freight
industry, as it is analysed in the
passage?
Developing a ship with accessible cargo
compartments that can be
mechanically loaded and unloaded
very rapidly.
Developing a ship’s engine that runs
on a cheaper type of fuel than that
traditionally used by ocean freighters.
Developing a ship whose freight
capacity related to the ship’s total
volume is much larger than that of any
existing ship.
Implementing a system to ensure that
ocean freighters are loaded to capacity
whenever they leave a port.
