    Does it really need to be a big container ship?

    Didn’t people transport stuff in smaller boats back in the day?

    (You still make a valid point though)

      they did specify freight! although getting The Cutty Sark back in working order is probably even more costly.

      Idk, polar bears are really heavy, and it takes a long time to get from one end of the planet to the other, so you want something secure to store the bears in. That means a bigger ship that can handle angry bears hurling themselves at the walls of their cage, because they will wake up during the journey, and they won’t be happy.
