I have a better idea. Bring some manufacturing back to the US. Container ships are already 2x as efficient as trains. You're going to get a lot of green-blinded yes-men in here so I'll chime in to say I don't believe in this. Really, something with the footprint of a container is going to move a container ship? This is a joke. Are we supposed to be dazzled that you worked on satellites? I worked on satellites - that doesn't mean you automatically know about everything especially after 10 years of experience. The maritime industry isn't filled with a bunch of idiots that don't care about efficiency and haven't heard of a sail boat before. If it was practical they would have sails already. We have sail boats. It's already a thing. They're not on 1000+ ton vessles for a reason. You are wasting your time and money. I'm only trying to help.
Now on a positive note, if we find some devices, easy to operate, low cost and that can save few percent of fuel (being fossile or green), then that could still be useful.
