Not strictly freight, but the tragic disaster of the Korean ferry Sewol has taken a twist and a turn into the absurd. In a story containing organic ice cream, a religious sect, sleeping policemen and embezzlement, the focus is on the search for Yoo Byung-un, the man whose family owned an investment vehicle which ran Chonghaejin Marine, the company which owned the Sewol. He has disappeared, despite a raid involving 6,000 police and investigators.
