tanker shipping
Tanker shipping refers to the transportation of liquid cargoes, primarily oil, chemicals, and liquefied natural gas, using specialized ships called tankers. These vessels are designed with large, reinforced tanks to safely carry bulk liquids across oceans and seas. Tankers come in various sizes, including VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) and LNG carriers, each suited for specific types of cargo.
The tanker shipping industry plays a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the movement of essential resources from producers to consumers. It involves complex logistics, including loading and unloading at ports, compliance with safety regulations, and environmental considerations to prevent spills and pollution.
