It's interesting to think that as we approach a post-hydrocarbon world, not only will we extract less fossil fuels, we'll ship less too. Ironic to think about how much fuel is used to ship fuel. I know there's been speculation about shipping batteries, but I'd imagine that shipping traffic will decrease at a similar pace to fossil fuel usage after we hit peak. And the IEA estimate for that peak is 2030.
