I really enjoyed:

Tankers Full of Trouble: The Perilous Journey of Alaskan Crude by Eric Nalder

It's the true account of a newspaper reporter from Seattle (one who was hard on tankers in general and Capt. Hazelwood specifically) taking a ride on an Arco (now named Polar) tanker to Valdez, AK.

It's particularly interesting seeing that the author changes his tune, basically admitting not all mariners are environmental misfits, only to be proven wrong years later (in 2006) when the Captain he shadowed is forced into retirement by Polar.
