Angelo's post above. Why can't the huge amount of energy (MW) be used to run the Ships themselves? If it can then it'll be huge saving over Fossil Fuel Usage and we can have the marine equivalents of Electric Vehicles. I completely agree to C. Angelo’s post above.

The idea is great, we just need to come up with a storage mechanism with a lower environmental impact.

You spend fossil fuels to drive out to the ocean and then back... I don’t see how this is cheaper. You spend fossil fuels to drive out to the ocean and then back…
