Sink it.

I posted the essence of this in another thread, but the probable motive for this hijacking is to hold the ship as a hostage [blow up the ship as you suggest and all you have done is kill a few idiots , the crew and succeeded in sinking a 100 million dollar cargo ... and then there is the value of the ship ... the half cocked reaction to 50 million barrels of crude spilled ... and from there, don't get me started.]
