Planes are less efficient, but extremely fast. Weight to speed ratio, airships are a joke compared to ships. Transportation with airship is way more expensive then a container ship. It may be better for the environment, but companies care about profits, and it’s the companies using the service. Either it needs to travel fast for more money with planes, or slow in bulk for cheap. Slow and expensive makes no sense. It makes sense to you and me, caring about the enviroment. But I’m not importing and exporting goods on a massive scale.
Ships don’t work on land, and trains/trucks require expensive infrastructure.
Once the technology for airships is out of the re-development phase again it will favour very well cost-wise against other land-based options (of course container-shipping is hard to beat).
Trains need expensive infrastructure, yes, but it’s already there.
I sure hope airships make it, as it could be a very eco friendly alternative. But I highly doubt it will be able to win from conventional forms of transportation.
It’s companies which are the ones moving the goods. I agree we all should change, I’m against capitalism, but good luck convincing companies to cut deeply into their profits.

buddy what are you not getting about “fuel makes the planet hot we should seek alternatives”
also we superduper do not need to move goods as cheap and as fast as possible, that’s some capitalist dogmatic brainwashing
