A Neopanamax vessel is allowed to transport 120,000 metric tons of cargo [1]. ~60 K$ would only amount to 0.50 $/t of extra cost. That is only low single-digit percentage increased shipping cost [2]. And again, that is the cost of desalinating 100% seawater, not the proportionally cheaper cost of desalinating whatever single-digit to maybe low double-digit percent you would actually get from incidental mixture during reclamation.
