When people want to split a bill at a some place (e.g. a restaurant), usually a single person has to pay as a lot of places do not offer to split the bill. Someone has to defray the costs for the entire group. This places a big burden on this person and this person has to make sure he receives his money.
FLOCO
Following Mclean's vision, imagine a container ship design where a platform would be installed that could be released from the vessel with all the containers mounted on top of the platform. The vessel would be splatted into two parts, the first would be the main vessel with the engine and whatever a vessel needs and the second would be the releasable platform. In simpler terms, imagine a truck that pulling a container, now it is a vessel pulling this platfrom. After the vessel reaches its destination the floating platform is released and installed in the port so it can be handled or in case the vessel has to wait to be handled the platform is released into the sea near the port and the vessel is released from waiting in the queue and can set off to its next destination. The platforms could be divided in 2 or more platforms so they vessel's journey can be more flexible. In reality we have a trade of platform mounted with containers. FLOCO = FLOaiting COntainer
