#2 Perhaps these tankers could use a "skirt" made up of some kind of continuous heavy blanket that could absorb the brunt of an explosion. It would have to be heavy enough that terrorists couldn't just push it aside and get their boat between it and the hull because that would amplify the explosion. Maybe the blanket could have some small holes through it so that it would disperse the wave front over time and not hit the blanket too hard.

#5 Heh heh. It could look like a big one of these:

Or to do one better, make it a piggy swimming ring!

Make it right and it will direct the force of the blast back at the attackers and nobody will even know they were there.
