Oil from sunken ships

Global News has this up on the recovery of oil from sunken ships.  At first, I wondered at all the sunken ships and if they might be a resource for oil instead of drilling the Earth….and then they say the price tag for this is $50 million.

You would think with all the technology out there that they could come up with some system that would allow for easier recovery of oil from sunken ships.  Why couldn’t it be contained in some sort of rubber “balloon” that could more easily be recovered if a ship sank?  Surely they could come up with something like that?
