Tankers are large ships designed to transport liquids, such as oil, chemicals, or liquefied natural gas. They come in various sizes and types, including crude oil tankers, product tankers, and chemical tankers, each tailored for specific cargo. These vessels are equipped with specialized tanks to safely store and transport their contents across oceans and seas. The operation of tankers involves strict safety and environmental regulations to prevent spills and accidents. They are often monitored by organizations like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to ensure compliance with international standards. Tankers play a crucial role in global trade, facilitating the movement of essential resources.
