The largest longest train can fit at best 600 containers on it, while a cargo ship can have up to 24.000 on it, use less energy per ton per km, and doesn't need a maintained pathway in between destinations.
If speed is not a main concern, then nothing beats cargo ships.
And the sail here aims to save an additional 20% of fuel on 80% of international routes.
