> Huge transport ships produce more pollution than all cars of the world combined.
That's not really true. They produce more of one type. (SO2) But certainly not more by volume, or by GHG content.
That said, shipping uses bunker oil, which is a nasty piece of work.
And we should transition to electrified rail based shipping, powered by nuclear and renewables. But Hawaii is out of luck, at least Eurasia can be connected to the Americas sort of easily at the Bering strait.
