08/10/2020 19:14Is it only me that sees a solution? Large empty tanker with large pumping hose and coupler to stranded oil ship. Helicopter pad on empty pump container ship. Take off and land operatives onto stranded ship, bring hose over, couple up and pump all the excess oil off the stranded ship. Then large tow salvage ship comes and fixes the hold, pumps out water. Rows ship off reef. Or if tanker is not salvageable at least the majority of the oil is off it reducing pollution to the environment.
