There's only so many arms manufactuers and shipping companies and supporting businesses who are willing to work the bottom of the barrel market. The first world is always on their back because they're the people who do things "wrong" enough (they and their customers would say "right") to meet the price points of the third world. This is like the shipping equivalent of the local bottom dollar machinery moving service that has cash discounts and is always getting hassled by the DOT for clapped out trucks and questionable load permits.

Until the whole world is rich enough to not have to cut corners this kind of stuff (the shipping story, the chain of events leading to the explosion in downtown Beirut is exceptional which is why they're so pissed off about it) is normal.
