They can carry thousands of 20-ft containers across thousands of miles of ocean in relatively short time, but they also burn sulfur-laden heavy oil fuels. Each ship can emit over 150,000 tons of CO2 every year<\/a>, 5,000 tons of sulfur, and other harmful particulates attributed to death and\u00a0disease\u00a0along heavily populated coastlines.<\/p>\n
