Good read, interesting.

This is what jumped out at me, tho (this and the skyscrapers part).

From the article:

"Skinner also said there was a backlog because ships over a certain weight can’t traverse the canal, so the area outside the canal entrance was populated, at least somewhat, by Chinese vessels in the process of lightening their loads by dumping some of their heavy, highly polluting, tar-infested fuel straight into the Pacific so they could meet the canal’s weight restrictions.

I asked Skinner whether such considerable pollution wasn’t policed, and he kind of threw up his hands and smiled. In other words, no. “We aren’t the only place (where this kind of thing happens),” he said."
