Oil tankers are large ships designed to transport crude oil and its derivatives across oceans and seas. They come in various sizes, from smaller coastal vessels to ultra-large carriers capable of holding millions of barrels of oil. These ships are equipped with specialized tanks and systems to safely store, transport, and unload liquid cargo. They play a vital role in global energy supply chains, connecting oil-producing regions with consuming markets. Safety measures and regulations are critical due to the hazardous nature of the cargo, and their design emphasizes stability, efficiency, and risk mitigation during long-distance transportation.
