TANKERS

LNG carrier

LNG carrier is a ship designed for transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG). As the LNG market grows rapidly, the fleet of LNG carriers continues to experience tremendous growth.

A chemical tanker is a type of tanker designed to transport chemicals in bulk.

Ocean-going chemical tankers generally range from 5,000 to 40,000 dwt in size, which is considerably smaller than the average size of other tanker types due to the specialised nature of their cargoes and the size restrictions of the port terminals where they call to load and discharge.

Oil tankers, also known as petroleum tankers, or tankers are ships designed for the bulk transport of oil. There are two basic types of oil tanker: 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.

A tanker is a ship designed to transport liquids in bulk. Petroleum tankers are a particular brand of tanker all their own. This type is sometimes referred to as a tankship.

An Ore-bulk-oil carrier, also known as combination carrier or OBO, is a ship designed to be capable of carrying wet or dry cargoes. The idea is to reduce the number of empty (ballast) voyages, in which large ships only carry a cargo one way and return empty for another.
