High bandwidth though.

Speed is somewhat irrelevant here as what matters is how many ships per day they can process.



>Speed is somewhat irrelevant here

No, it's not, because people. I really don't see a future where anyone gives up civil aviation for the climate. More likely a combination of electrification, biofuel, and hydrogen will be the solution.


It's already happening with TEN-T on the continent. Even though slower, travel by train in generally city centre to city centre and much less hassle, so where feasible can supplant aviation.


What does civil aviation have to do with the bulk transport of goods by massive container and bulk carrier ships?

Ship journey time is irrevelant to volume | tonnage moved as the limiting factors are port capacity and water approach limitations.

A ship journey is a long pipe, you can pop 6 ships a day in one end and have 6 ships a day arriving at the other end.


Kind of irrelevant to reducing aviation emissions, given that people only pay for air freight when speed is a priority.
