Super tankers and above are extremely busy. Those ships are booked years ahead and most have cargo already loaded going somewhere. Plus the sheer fact that they have a quite low top speed, so it would take most super tankers and the sizes above it some respectable time to even show up at the scene.

I know for a fact that someone is out there asking around if there are any contracts available for super tankers. No one knows or can confirm that BP is behind this, but it would at least be a reasonable suspicion.
