Tanker shipping involves the transportation of liquid cargo, primarily oil, chemicals, or liquefied natural gas, by specialized ships known as tankers. These vessels are designed with large, safe storage tanks to handle different types of liquids. Tankers play a crucial role in the global economy, enabling the efficient movement of resources from producers to consumers. They come in various sizes, varying from small coastal tankers to large supertankers that navigate international waters. Safety and environmental regulations are vital in this industry to prevent spills and protect marine ecosystems during transportation.
