Generally, cost of marine transportation is a function of shipping distance and vessel capacity. Hydrogen content of liquid hydrogen (100%), ammonia (18%), and MHC (6%*) also impacts cost per kg of H2. Shipping from the West Coast of Canada or Australia would be similar, about 21 days round-trip. US Gulf costs for MCH, NH3, and H2 would be more than double Canada/Australia costs with a 50 day round-trip.
