The popularity is pretty good, second only to the scandals of traffic stars. After all, shipping is far from everyone's life, and only a few people really understand it.

Luo Jia turned to the South Korean Forum again, but found that there was a miserable scene in the South Korean Navigation Forum.

According to the information provided by the translation software, it turned out that Ms. Park Qingzhu from KBS TV rented a fishing boat with a maximum speed of only 26 knots while live broadcasting the trial voyage of Swallowtail Butterfly.

Normally, tracking a bulk cargo ship at this speed is more than enough.

Who would have thought that the Swallowtail Butterfly had a cruise speed of up to 35 knots, and actually threw KBS TV away from it.

This situation brought great shock to the Korean people. They watched the Swallowtail Butterfly ride the wind and waves with the camera, but they couldn't even catch up with it. The embarrassing cancer was almost incurred.

In contrast, the situation on Neon is better. After all, the family is big and the business is big. Shipbuilding is the pillar industry of South Korea, but it is the sunset industry of Neon.

Back then, Neon once made 50% of the ships on the earth, and was the world's largest shipbuilding country, with no popularity.

Later, South Korea and China slowly snatched away the share, and now only 17% are left. Therefore, the Neon people are more experienced in frustration, which is like a gambler who always loses the game. He gets used to it while losing.

The shipbuilding industry is the three strongest forces in China, Japan and South Korea, but shipping is the world of Europe. Four of the world's five major shipping groups are in Europe.

There was originally a Hanjin Shipping Group in South Korea, which was once a global giant, but unfortunately it was officially declared bankrupt on February 17, 2017 due to poor management.

At present, there are only two shipping companies with global competitiveness in East Asia, including COSCO Shipping and Wanwan Senior Official Rong Shipping. Although the cunning Europeans handed over the shipbuilding work to China, Japan and South Korea, they firmly controlled the lifeline of global marine transportation.

"Damn Chinese, how could they do this?"

"All electricity pushes ships not to sell? Do they want to eat the global shipping market alone?"

"This trick is really too ruthless. The Baltic dry bulk index fell sharply today! European shipping stocks have begun to collapse!"

"First it was the car, now it was the shipping. What exactly did Xingchen Technology do??"

"Why is the European Parliament not fighting back yet!?"

"Chinese ships should be banned from entering Europe!"

In the European forum, the news that Xingchen Technology refused to sell electric propulsion technology to Maersk spread wildly and caused an uproar.

The German Photo Bird published an article on the front page, believing that the trial voyage of the Swallowtail Butterfly is of significance comparable to that of Columbus' discovery of the New World and will completely change the history of human shipping.

Photo News believes that it is completely unrealistic to ban Chinese ships from entering Europe. One-fifth of freight and two-three times the speed are temptations that all companies cannot resist.

If China Shipping Company is not used, the logistics cost will increase. This is like a carriage and a car. They cannot be called competition, but a complete generation difference.

British media such as the Times and the London Financial Times welcomed electric ships from Star Technology. Anyway, the UK has no shipbuilding or shipping, so why don’t they do it if they can reduce freight?

In fact, just look at the reports of European media and you will find that they are not a monolithic part at all.

Denmark, France and Switzerland media, which own large shipping companies, almost want to strangle Star Technology to death.

Countries like Germany, the United Kingdom, and Spain that do not have much shipping business think electric ships are acceptable, as long as the freight is cheaper.
