\"The failure of the European 3E tanker project in the early 1990s, involving yards in Germany, Italy, Spain and France that built just one very-large crude carrier Bourgogne, doesn\'t mean that the latest initiative is doomed. The 3E project was offering a tanker with a capacity for 2 million barrels of crude, which aimed to exceed all existing and foreseen environmental regulations at a time when the freight market was in the doldrums and South Korean yards were offering conventional ships at unbeatable prices.\"
