10% is a lot though.

The Neoliner Origin is a pretty interesting ship. Perhaps more ships like it will start to show up as oil gets more expensive.

The Neoliner Origin is a joke. It's a marketing stunt to greenwash the importation of low-volume luxury goods like cosmetics for rich customers who want to tell their friends about how they're saving the planet. The design can't scale up to transport bulk cargo in a cost effective way.
