1. What is Oil Tanker Ship?
Tankers are designed to carry liquid cargoes (not just
oil). Oil tankers come in two basic types, the crude
carrier, which carries crude oil, and the clean products
tanker, which carries the refined products, such as
petrol, gasoline, aviation fuel, kerosene and paraffin.
Tankers range in all sizes, from the small bunkering
tanker (used for refueling larger vessels of 1000DWT
tons to the real giants: the VLCC (Very Large Crude
Carrier) of between 2-300,000 DWT and the ULCC
(Ultra Large Crude Carrier) of up to 500,000 DWT.
Product carriers are smaller in size but product carriers of over 100.000 DWT are already
operational. It should be remembered that over 60% of the world oil is transported by these tankers
and over 99% of that arrives safely without causing pollution. Most oil pollution seen on beaches
comes from the engine rooms of vessels (of all types) and not necessarily from the cargo tanks of
tankers.
