I didn't think of the 'ecological disaster' angle, but certainly if these guys decided to put a large hole in the side of this tanker it would be one. I just looked up the size of the Exxon Valdez spill, and it was approximately 257,000 barrels... This one might have up to 2 million barrels, so I'm guessing the ship is larger than the Valdez, which carried 1.25 million barrels at the time of that accident...

Regards,
John
