Here in Portugal we already have many products (specially fruit) from Brazil, Peru and other South American countries. Will the prices go down as they won't have to pay EU tariffs?
If you follow the theory the prices will go down in a time, and there will be significant more supply. There is a safeguard if the supply surges at some threshold though.
If you are over 50 and live in Southern Europe this used to be a ver common way to spend an afternoon. Maybe add a newspaper and definitely a cigarette to go with your coofee. Very relaxing.
I would like to know its price. Here in the Azores Islands there was a project to replace an ICE ferry with an electric one but they couldn't agree on the price with the boat builders. It went up to as much as 35 million Euros but it ended up being cancelled as that, apparently, wasn't enough for a ferry that can do 1-1.5 hour crossings with a dozen cars or so.
Size of the ferry will make a big difference. A small ferry is going to cost a lot less than this 225 car ferry. My quick reading is the Azore ferries hold about 8 cars; that's a totally different class of vehicle.
My local ferry system has an electrification project[1]; the current active project is three 160-car hybrid-electric ferries for a total cost of $714.5 million. A NZ shipbuilder is probably more competitive than a US shipbuilder, and details matter....
This article says $200M [2] which is a lot lower than I expected, given it's a one-off and larger (I think) than the WSDOT 160-car ferries.
Two hundred million would be really good compared with 35 for a 10-12 car ferry. We have had larger ferries in the past which would do the whole archipelago and would take over 100 cars.
I had no idea that would be the cost of a ferry albeit old. We have a massive problem with transportation between islands due to lack of ships/investment. For example, out of the 9 islands only three have daily voyages and right now even that isn't happening as one boat broke down and another is away on maintenance. We could do we a couple even old ones.
The main issue I saw here with the electric ferry was that 90% of the installed generation in the islands uses HFO so we would be charging the ferry with a fuel that pollutes more than the diesel used to run it.
General survey of ferry prices in the 25+ meter range to give you an idea. Length number can be changed to filter for longer / shorter. There's 37 in the 25+ range, 19 in the 50+ range, and 11 in the 100+ range currently, although a few false positives on the keyword matches.
And when I click them I get a page with "Did you mean netflix.com?
The site you just tried to visit looks fake. Attackers sometimes mimic sites by making small, hard-to-see changes to the URL." which then sends me to the Netfçix home page. Chrome on MacOS.
it's because their s3 bucket is called "download.opencontent.netflix.com.s3.amazonaws.com". the subdomain makes chrome think it's pretending to be "netflix.com"
The price increases seem reasonable (from 6 to 7, 12 to 14, etc) given inflation. Have they been increasing prices frequently or am I missing something?
This would be very cool within a game setting. Just imagine feeling the sensation of fresh air as you go through a door. Even if it were small effects it could add a huge leap in realism and immersion. Smell is a very powerful sense.
This is the worst part. You’d think with a dramatic increase in supply that we’d see prices fall to almost nothing. Domains are priced as if anyone buying them is planning to start a billion dollar business, and the URL is instrumental in its success.
This discourages me from wanting to buy domains for a hobby project, or even for my own email. This whole industry seems like a big scam. Domain squatters don’t help the situation.
