"Almost everything in your house arrived by boat. The phone, the couch, the
running shoes, the coffee maker. At some point most of it sat in a steel box on
a container ship crossing an ocean, and that ship was almost certainly burning
heavy fuel oil, the tar-like residue left over after a refinery has pulled
everything valuable out of crude. It is cheap, it is filthy, and it moves
something like 80 to 90 percent of world trade. So a 10,000-ton container ship
that doesn’t burn a drop of it is a genuinely odd thing to watch pull out of
port. China just put one into commercial service. The
Ningyuan Dian Kun left
the Port of Ningbo-Zhoushan on April 15 bound for Jiaxing, and its operator and
Chinese state media are calling it the largest all-electric container ship in
the world."
