Fascinating portrait of what the modern day freight shipping industry is like. Ships and oceans are mostly out of sight for the everyday person, but 90% of all goods - as the title states - get transported that way. And while life on the sea has a romantic tinge to it, the realities are from it. We hear about cheap meals, lack of benefits, loneliness, pirate scares, kidnappings and shipwrecks.
