It seems that someone noticed that absorbing CO2 leads to ocean acidity rising (the carbonate ion, CO3, is a negatively charged ion with a nominal charge of -2).
Neutralizing CO3 by providing it something permanent to bind with - for example by forming NaHCO3 - will likely have the desired effect (nobody goes testing with a ship without first testing in a lab)…
…but the scale of the task makes me doubt if this is a feasible / reasonable approach. All that sodium to make soda would have to be produced somehow, without emitting almost any CO2. This, I have doubts about feasibility.
