Does it still work out if you take into account the insurance premiums for a cargo ship stacked with batteries? Can't imagine the fire hazard is pretty.

		Oh, there's precedent for shuttling freighter size metal fire hazards intercontinentally to top up charge, is there? How does that work out in cost per kWh? Profitable operation anywhere close? Crisis relief (as suggested by jmward01 here) may be another matter, but setting up the ability to do this on scale, and maintaining it, can't be anything like easy economically.
