Tankers and debris

There is and has been a lot of discussions regarding the Enbridge pipeline proposal to send bitumen to the West Coast to be exported by tankers. I am against this project as it is too much of a costly risk to our environment and coastline.

Once in a while we hear about the impending arrival of debris from the Japanese earthquake

which I understand is expected to land on our shorelines. I am wondering if this debris would

be a problem for the tankers to maneuver around or through them. Also, I wonder if the debris

would hinder the cleanup of the bitumen when, not if, a spill occurs. I guess the experts will

have this all figured out.
