the enormity of the situation, literally. I have serious doubts that this technology exists, until the guy can show it to someone, anyone, I remain skeptical.

Supertankers are not currently designed to perform this function. Not only would you have to fit them with massive pumps you would have to fit them with the power generating capability to run the massive pumps. Theoretically I suppose you could run the power from the tankers engines but that would mean a major overhaul of the entire power structure of the ship and it would probably be illegal because you are not supposed to mess with the power generating capability of a ship with that rated tonnage.

This guy claims that Saudi Goverment had a secret oil spill and now has a bunch of retrofitted supertankers that could be put into use in 72 hours. I want to see them.
