      By sea is an extremely direct route, and by land isn’t an option, so yeah, the only comparison left is by air. And shipping by air is less efficient in all respects except time.

      So saying this route is especially inefficient by sea is just a confusing statement.

        Maybe if you ship it from the very South of Argentina (maybe they do?), otherwise it’s a significant detour to go around South America whichever way you go.
