If the cargo is a few million barrels of oil now the problem of the government who's shores it threatens.. you don't really care do you?
That would be on the company's insurance to cover, and shipping companies should be absolutely required to carry insurance for things like oil spills.
Sure.. mostly they do.. but then captains are drunk, maintenance is poor and the insurance declines to pay.. or drags that out through court for 2 decades.. meanwhile governments have to foot the bill. The examples are endless unfortunately.
