Amazing how teams manage to successfully run overseas GPs from one week to another. I never though there was also shipping transportation involved.

There must certainly be some place for cost savings here if there was a common logistics organisation for all team, maybe by Liberty.

There is. All the teams package and deliver to a common location from where the container ships load and sail. Same thing for the air transport. I thought the video included that, at least implicitly.
