I dunno, I’m often close to a shipping port and see roll-on/roll-off ships all the time. And if I see them, you can bet there’s a lot more there I’m missing. Haha.
I’m not really a shipping professional or nerd, but are we maybe comparing apples to oranges here? “Look, this orange is incredibly hard, tastes sour and has no pith or juice.” Yeah, it’s a pretty good apple though.
They may be greenwashing, but we should also be producing and consuming locally a lot more, so a future focused on smaller efficient ships might be a good thing. Or just alternatives for the industries that can use them.
