RE:RE:RE:India Goes for Canadian CrudeI can't find the article now, but they said they will use the aframax size ships to do a ship-to-ship transfer to the VLCC.

It looked like an island from Second Narrows Bridge. They ran small boats back and forth shuttling sailors and visitors. There is no way a vlcc is getting anywhere near the oil loading terminal. I remember seeing people lining the waterway protesting the carrier. Seeing a vlcc pull up would cause every tree hugger's head to explode. Politically it would be a disaster for the NDP.
