English

Subject field(s)
  • Types of Ships and Boats
  • Special Water Transport
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
DEF

A ship designed to carry liquid cargo in bulk within its cargo spaces, without the use of barrels or other containers.

CONT

Most tankers carry either crude oil from oil fields to refineries or petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, or petrochemical feedstock from refineries to distribution centres. Some tankers with special food-grade holds, pumps, and other handling equipment can carry molasses, edible oil, and even wine in bulk. Specialized ships for transporting liquefied natural gas and fruit juices are often called tankers, though on these ships the cargo is actually carried in large refrigerated containers that fit into the hold.
