About
An oil tanker, also known as a petroleum tanker, is a ship designed for the bulk transport of oil.
There are two basic types of oil tankers: the crude tanker and the product tanker. Crude tankers move large quantities of unrefined crude oil from its point of extraction to refineries. Product tankers, generally much smaller, are designed to move petrochemicals from refineries to points near consuming markets.
Oil tankers are often classified by their size as well as their occupation. The size classes range from inland or coastal tankers of a few thousand metric tons of deadweight (DWT) to the mammoth supertankers of 550,000 DWT.
The average cost of oil transport by tanker amounts to only two or three United States cents per gallon.
