These "ships" can hope 200' feet into the air, their danger to the marine community lies in ignorance, (on both parts) n how to operate them safely. They are a proven technology and go places ship would never venture, churn no water, and are impervious to torpedoes and mines! hey are not dangerous, are extremely steady, and in fact, because of their speed, can get to ports quicker, and do not have to worry about ice. They can also landing great sea states, and offer safe respite till rescued, in the event of an engine failure. They would open Alaska up, and service the people there greatly as their fuel efficienty is 75% greater than ships carrying the same weight cargo!!
It is the Politics of "The Jones Act" which keep them from being developed here. Silly Politics, and we, as a nation, suffer. Sorry, but you are just plain wrong on this. This ship at speed could "Hop" over any ship in it's path, yet it could turn even easier!! I have been studying these for 0ver 20 years, and have the proof to show it.
You can buy and build this, depending on your skills, for not very much!! Why stay close to the water when you can flu over a break water or small island and continue on path?
My knowledge on these is vast, you have much, very much to learn.
