Well, if you pack em full of cars and they get stuck for months waiting to get unloaded at the port it makes sense to scrap them and take the insurance money. How many ships and cargo loads are still sitting full waiting to be offloaded at LA and Oakland??? The shipping companies only make money when they get unloaded and the amount of money is maximized by minimizing the load-to-unload time. A ship sitting idle for a year waiting for truckers in LA had just as well be scrapped.
