I see a lot of these points going over land, even where there aren't any big rivers. Maybe this is a plot of the containers rather than the ships?
If you click to about the middle of May and wait a few seconds, you get a ship flying across the middle of Africa. I wonder what happened there :)

Meanwhile, the thieves would have the boat in Ru…

I found this to be a bit difficult though. I don't think there are necessarily boats of this, but it does go into basic business logistics

I lol'd. Sometimes when I read these kind of stories, including phishing and hacking ones, there's this tiny inner evil in me that wants to do bad things, but then I remember consequences and that being good usually pays off.
