Its not actually more eco friendly than placing the cargo on a container ship.
The fuel cost for moving one container over the Atlantic on a big container ship is about 30$. A container takes 30 tons. So 12 containers could move that cargo for a fuel cost of 360$, the scale is unbeatable; both economically and environmentally.
Things like this can only ever be a type of artistic thing rather than used for real shipping.
