Oil tankers are specifically designed to transport liquid petroleum products, including crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other liquids like liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Chemical tankers are designed to carry hazardous liquid chemicals, which may include corrosive, toxic, or flammable substances. These tankers have specialized tanks and safety features to handle these risks.
Product tankers are primarily used to transport refined petroleum products, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and heating oil, in bulk. They are smaller than crude oil tankers but similar in design.
An LNG carrier is specifically designed to transport liquefied natural gas. These ships are equipped with cryogenic tanks to keep the LNG at extremely low temperatures during transport.
The Aframax tanker is a medium-sized tanker, typically ranging between 80,000 to 120,000 deadweight tons (DWT). Its design allows it to navigate through smaller ports and canals, such as the Suez Canal, due to its size restrictions.
