Require wet kits and can be only used specifically for one product during each season. Cant just swing through an elevator to get a back haul and only a certain window for the season. I have to problem with the difference in price.

If they are getting those rates it is because there is limited competition in their sector. Combine having to travel all over for work, expensive equipment, haz mat, etc.... Compairing to the Dry bulk we haul doesnt seem to be an apples to apples compairison.
