I can understand the need for inter-system food transportation, and
inter-system petroleum transportation, but inter-system WATER transportation?

Give me a 600-ton non-starship and I'll take your water-merchant on, using the
large quantities of ice found anywhere there are planets, moons, or asteroid
belts.  I'll run you out of business faster than you can say "Trade"

I personally don't believe there is an economic justification for ice-pirates or
"V"-style "visitors". :-) :-) :-)
