Yeah, it's a bit of a misleading (and sensational) headline. Shipping vessels are fuel efficient for the load they carry. And since the EPA is creating a 'reduced emissions zone' around the US, where ships will need to clean themselves up to continue to deliver to the US, I fail to see the 'EPA hypocrisy.'

But hey, it got me to click on the thread, so I guess mission accomplished.
