If we can operate submarines and aircraft carriers with nuclear, there is no reason why container ships and other cargo ships can't be nuclear powered. We could decarbonize the seas very effectively. It's not done simply because it is more profitable to use oil. porky-happy

Given the shoddy oversight of the shipping industry I'm not sure I'd trust some of the most unscrupulous capitalists with operating and maintaining nuclear vessels.

Capitalism and nuclear ships is a real bad combination, seems like most commercial transport ships are already half falling apart.
