 +
 +Multi-Hop Logistics (MHL) is a system by which ships provide transport for train-driven shipping.
 +
 +  * Train-carrying ships work static routes between places
 +  * Trains have a specific route in their schedule across all of the layovers needed to complete a journey
 +  * Trains are not linked to specific ships, they merely look for any ship working the next link.
 +
 +The primary downside of the system is that it is very complex to develop.
