A Whale is a Liberian flagged oil tanker built in 2010 by Hyundai Heavy Industries, Ulsan, South Korea for Taiwan Maritime Transport Co. Ltd. (TMT) from the Republic of China (Taiwan). She was refitted and converted in Portugal into a so-called “super skimmer” to assist in the clean up of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in Gulf of Mexico, near the Mississippi River Delta, Louisiana. The ship’s owners claim A Whale can separate 300,000 to 500,000 gallons of oil per day while storing the crude and returning the cleaned sea water to the sea.
