They did not mean the ships become green energy ship, they meant the ships would no longet be sailing at all because we don't need to ship the coal etc.
Also, brrak the larger ships down into several sailing ships. Infinite small sailing ships would be more green than one large fuel burning ship.
And infinite small sailing ships could all simulatenously dock at our fractal infinitely long shorelines, all unloading their infinitely small cargo at the same instant, simultanously flooding the earth with infinite amounts of oil and zero amounts of oil that we wouldn't notice at all. :)
i mean, i don't deny that making ports bigger and able to handle more ships (with more infrastructure and people working the ports) would help alleviate some of the problems we're seeing, but it's the whole building more lanes on the freeway problem. build a bigger port and it'll fill up with just as bad traffic
