If it can cruise at 60mph it can take the long route around weather and be anywhere in on the globe within 9 or 10 days.

I at that speed I hope they don’t hit any lost shipping containers that are floating just below the surface.

Oh baloney. With what fuel and supplies?

I repeat: It is not designated "Littoral" for nothing

Sprint speed is 50kts.

Economical speed is 20+kts, at which range is 4300nm. Figure 4 weeks just like any greenhouse gas generating ship,

It;s an innovative design but not magic.
