meh, it's a 1 ton sample. I bet that sits right in the middle of "too small for boat and too big for plane". as a sample, contamination while sea going would be a concern maybe as there would be lots of handling on and off boats + a shared container. that said, do we really want to scrutinise at this level... it would have been less than 10k, form part of future r&d tax refund and half paid for by the gov...small price to pay to confirm Muchea is up to snuff or not in quick time....
the real question is why Germany... surely there are labs closer... unless it was stipulated by "someone" that a particular lab be used? does vrx know anyone in Germany????
