Ah they just continue to use the oceans as a crapper. How is a boat with that much fuel just abandoned? Who the hell owns it, what is their insurance policy and make them pay for some of the salvage. An empty ship, sure, let 'er sink, but that's a lot of fuel to just dissipate. I think people often mistake the word dissipate with disapear. It doesn't just go away for christ sake.
We pay crazy taxes and levies to cover "green" projects and make an effort to enviro friendly, and then in one fell swoop, 300,000 litres of fuel are sent to the air. We are talking out of two holes here. Its a joke and makes me completely hate solar power projects and other apparently meaningless green projects. Let's all evaporate a gallon of gas today... What difference does it make? Oh ya, you'd get fined! But a giant flippin tanker.. Target practice. Christ!
