Did you just wake up from eternal slumber? Everytime you buy something that arrived by lorry, be it even a tomato, everyone pays for the taxes directly and indirectly.

whoever gets paid to transport stuff around will need to buy fuel for their bussines so they can successfully deliver the goods they've been hired to deliver. So the company that owns the ships will get a full tank from the port, this time it will only be way more expenses due to taxes, and that maybe will push the the owners into investing into greener technology to transport goods that isn't as polluting.

Who keeps the taxes? The country whose port the shop was residing while fueling up.

We all know what taxes are. We all know you're an armchair thinker who believes that every problem has one simple solution, which apparently only you could think of for some reason. Anyway continue to enjoy the bliss ignorance is.
