TMT Shipping Offshore's converted supertanker, "A Whale," and dubbed a "super skimmer", is pictured fourteen miles northwest of the BP oil spill site, as Coast Guard officials conduct tests to measure the vessel's effectiveness in capturing oil and separating it from sea water in the Gulf of Mexico, July 4, 2010. The supertanker, adapted to scoop up oil from the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico, began tests on Saturday amid a report that some major investors expect the energy giant to replace its top executives.
