#3 I happen to know Martin Jensen.

Tanker lease rates had plunged up until a few weeks ago. They are doubtless soaring again on the prospect of routing them around the Cape. It's an ill wind that doesn't blow well for someone.

#4 $150M?

You have to get that up there a bit higher to afford the lobbyists and the lawyers to get a Federal Judge to issue a restraining order on anything less than full Maranda, probable cause requirements, and complete due process that any American would be entitled to. You might be able to get a injunction against using helicopters and craft moving more than 10 knots because of the hypothetical detrimental effect upon some rare and unusual Red Sea critter. Check the Washington yellow pages or Google on line for lobbyist/lawyer near you.
