yes, impressive. don't think they're tankers though. I thought they were barges, then I looked up "casco", a smaller vessel like a barge used as a "lighter" a vessel used to lighten the load on another ship for travel through shallow water, like a canal. So, big hollow boats.

Very cool video and the Blue Marlin is freakin awesome. I've seen her, or one like her doing that kind of self powered drydock move before (though I can't remember where at the moment). Might have been in person out in Puget Sound. It will come to me, someday.
