# a large super tanker can burn a ton of oil a day.
surely the weight in saved fuel oil would cover the weight added by the turbines.
As for side wind...i guess the turbines would turn into the wind, to enable the tanker to carry on in the direction it was going. Just like old sailing ships,insteadof 'tacking' it would be able to go straight?
