Also using close to $1m in fuel per trip (according to the CEO), not that it changes your point

Not doubting you, but how is that possible? (A quick, unverified Google throws back "A standard Panamax containership has operational costs of about $9 million per year")
Also a large private jet uses about 540 gallons of fuel per hour. That’s very roughly $5400/h in air
Those use cheap diesel.

What sort of fuel do you use underwater?

electricity. which you probably got from cheap diesel in a generator on your carrier ship.
I saw (probably) the same video and thought he was saying the company's lifetime fuel costs were $1M.
I really don't see how that is possible.
Maybe they fill it up with solid gold to sink and then drop it all into the ocean as they ascend
HODL
don't do this
