This is impractical. Using natural gas to power large ocean going ships is at early stages of development. Proper storage and safety of using nature gas for large marine ships is mot mature. Infrastructure, procedure and safety standards for fueling ships with nature gas does not exist. It would take 10-15 years going at full speed to build up the inventory of LNG powered ships before it can even be feasible to transition major shipping routes and ports to exclusive LNG power.
