I guess the boat system can be moved around the world to meet demand. Unlike a pipeline that might not get used again for another 10 years.

Still I think the numbers seem off for a boat dragging water in bags for 6 days to be cost effective.

If you've never purchased pressure-rated pipe, you'd be shocked at the cost of even a 6m piece of 1" PN20 pipe.
