Yes, I mean compared to that exactly.
However, small correction, I don't believe small fishing vessels use HFO, I imagine either diesel or gasoline is used there.
But yes, that's basically my question, how they stack up, like, "if we sink this battery boat" versus "if we sink this fossil-burning boat" then what are the ecological consequences, which is worse,and after long might the inflection point be where one becomes "better" than the other (if the best one does not consistently stay best).
