Important because shipping produces 2% of global CO2 emissions and is the lowest hanging fruit given how few sources there are.
Also important: marine dispels stink. Sitting on the beach downstream from one is not fun.

- fpoling 9y agoI second the observation about stinking. It became much more pleasant to cross Norwegian fjords with electrical ferries. Now one can enjoy the scenery while staying outside. With disel ferries staying on the upper deck in front with strong wind one still feels the smell and on the back side, with wind blocked by the ship, the smell can be rather terrible.
