The role of shuttle oil tanker... is to transport crude oil that has been initially treated above the well site. Initial treatment consists of removing contaminants from the crude, thus readying it for transport to onshore terminals. The hulls of these tankers are double-lined to prevent leakage. 4, record 2, English, - shuttle%20oil%20tanker

A shuttle tanker is a ship designed for oil transport from an off-shore oil field. It is equipped with off-loading equipment compatible with the oil field in question. This normally consists of a taut hawser arrangement or dynamic positioning to maintain the position relative to the field, an off-loading arrangement of pipes, and redundant safety systems to ensure that the potentially flammable crude oil is handled safely in a harsh environment. 5, record 2, English, - shuttle%20oil%20tanker

Au sens strict des mots, le navire-citerne peut transporter n'importe quel liquide en vrac et le pétrolier est défini comme un navire-citerne transportant du pétrole. Le terme «oil shuttle tanker» correspond donc au français «pétrolier (-)navette» et «shuttle tanker» correspond à «navire citerne navette». En contexte cependant, lorsqu'il est implicite que le «shuttle tanker» transporte du pétrole, il n'y a qu'un pas à franchir pour parler d'un pétrolier. 7, record 2, French, - p%C3%A9trolier%2Dnavette
