Okay fair enough thank you. The article points at just Volkswagen running 9 car carriers just for the north atlantic.

And BYD have been at it for a while, so time for a wholly owned one I guess.

> As to why a UK-based shipping company owned by a Israeli billionaire based in Monaco buys RoRo carriers from a Chinese shipyard, and then leases them back to a Chinese car maker, I don't know.

That's good. No idea if that's the reason, but that would be an easy way to invest in BYD while mostly not being subject to Chinese direct investing legal requirements and problems.
