22h. The sun is setting, but it's time, finally, unloading and loading. It will last until 8am. A giant puzzle to put in place, remove containers from Montreal and Liverpool, place those bound for North America. Not just how. Heaviest at the bottom of the cargo, to remove toxic substances from their congeners, history to avoid a dangerous mix. On the port is a ballet of cranes, machinery giant from which dockworkers seem to Playmobil. Some containers reveal their contents .... John Deer tractors brand new, shiny green. In cargo, it is at the heart of globalization. Not the abstract of trading. But one that sweats and stain. I just read a number in the Travel Guide cargo: 98% of global traffic of goods is by boat.
