For my knowledge,what ate TEUS. From Wikipedia: The twenty-foot equivalent unit (often TEU or teu ) is an inexact unit of cargo capacity often used to describe the capacity of container ships and container terminals .[1] It is based on the volume of a 20-foot-long (6.1 m) intermodal container , a standard-sized metal box which can be easily transferred between different modes of transportation, such as ships, trains and trucks. [1] The container is defined by its length though there is a lack of standardisation in regard to height, ranging between 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) and 9 feet 6 inches (2.90 m), with the most common height being 8 feet 6 inches (2.59 m). [2] Also, it is common to designate 45-foot (13.7 m) containers as 2 TEU, rather than 2.25 TEU. Asante.

40*50,000 so that shipment was worth about 2M. Not bad. I saw somewhere the double stacks are on the way so if a train can carry double that on one trip then KR is in good business. About 20 trucks off the road "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore .

Went to the NBO terminus to get a ticket so as to travel on Saturday to voi, shock on me as I was told to go back tomorrow as the system allows bookings upto three days in advance, they need to extend the advance bookings to cover a months advance at the very least 'One headache for famous medieval holy people was that someone might murder you to acquire your body parts for the relics trade'

About 20 trucks off the road There were more containers on wagons which the guy didn't film. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

Apart from the swinging seats and the fact the seats are red why should anyone pay 3 times for the same journey jut to sit in that class of travel? Portfolio: Sold You know you've made it when you get a parking space for your yatcht.

I have a relative whose shamba falls on the SGR corridor, at least part of it at Kimuka just past Ngong. What are the payment rates that he should expect? How long does it take to be compensated?
