That map actually makes me think the statement is true. Even if there are a bunch of ships crossing the Atlantic and the Pacific, the really thick streams of ships mostly stick close to land. The only heavily-trafficked routes that stray far from land are the Singapore - South Africa route and to a lesser extent the South Africa - Brazil routes. The Great Circle between Los Angeles and Beijing cuts through Dutch Harbor and the Aleutians. http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=PEK-LAX http://www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=PEK-LAX There are certainly remaining routes that might not be well-served by the "electric short hop" strategy, but I think most of the world's shipping routes could be amenable to Fleetzero's electrification plan.
