Unsatisfactory sources
editThe article currently quotes two sources:
- Heiwaco, The Coulombi Egg Tanker accessed September 13, 2008[unreliable source?]
- Jack Devanney (2006): The Tankship Tromedy, The Impending Disasters in Tankers, CTX Press, Tavernier, Florida, ISBN 0977647900, p.379-383
The first seems to be unreliable. Anyone can publish anything on tripod.com and this page appears to be an advocacy site by the designer of the Coulombi egg or a company that's interested in building tankers to this design. The second source is self-published: CTX is the Center for Tankship eXcellence, whose web page says, "Right now the CTX is basically a one-man operation headed by Jack Devanney." — Devanney is also the author of the cited book.

To describe Heiwaco as "unreliable" is putting it very mildly. The company is a one man outfit run by Anders Björkman, a failed maritime engineer and conspiracy nut best known for his promulgation of odd theories about the loss of the MV Estonia and the destruction of the WTC buildings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.71.7.123 (talk) 13:24, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
I've removed the Heiwaco citation and necessary information, I suspect Anders wrote it himself: he seems to plug his website at any opportunity. The fact there's a decent page for something that's barely known about and isn't built seems suspicious to me. I'd suggest someone more versed at Wiki-writing than me make an effort on tidying the article: I doubt the 'advantages' section is particularly accurate, for one. 86.149.138.208 (talk) 13:47, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
