It'd be a tough job I think, at least for a few years. My understanding is that it was purely a stroke of extreme luck the oil tanker was found drifting about and there were sufficient ships (despite widespread belief amongst the troops) to carry those willing or able to leave.

It's going to take quite a long time before adequate fuel supplies are once again available, and with lack of maintenance, and construction of new vessels, any flotilla is sure to be doubly hard to gather.
