It could be cheaper than the typical container port, if you can co-ordinate the ships: the Rustbucket Pacific unloads to a train/series of trains that carry the containers to the waiting Rustbucket Atlantic at the other end. No need to sort out destinations at the individual container level.
This does mean that you would like to work with the same shipping line at both ends, to address the matching of ship capacities.
