    The document discusses different categories and sizes of bulk carriers and tankers. It describes Handysize bulk carriers as being 15,000-35,000 DWT, Panamax as 60,000-80,000 DWT, and Capesize as 80,000-200,000 DWT. It also outlines common tanker classes from Coastal Tankers below 50,000 DWT to ULCCs exceeding 300,000 DWT, with the largest ever built being over 550,000 DWT.

    Page 1 of 2

    There are different sizes of tankers used in the international transportation of oil, from a modest coastal tanker to a
    VLCC or ULCC Supertanker. The common rule is that the volume that can be carried in a tanker increases as a
    function of the cube of its length. For instance, a ULCC is about twice the length of a coastal tanker (415 meters
    versus 205 meters), but can carry about 8 times the volume (50,000 tons versus 400,000 tons).
    The largest ship ever built was an oil tanker; the Knock Nevis built in 1979 (christened as the Seawise Giant) with
    565,000 of dwt, a length 458 meters, a beam of 69 meters and a draught of 25 meters. The ship was so large that no
    port could accommodate it fully laden, so it was loaded and unloaded while anchored offshore. In 2004 the Knock
    Nevis was converted to a floating storage and mooring unit of the coast of Qatar until 2009 when it was scrapped. As
    of 2010, only 12 tankers above 320,000 dwt remain. Of this, only two "true" ULCC of around 430,000 dwt are left in
    operation, the TI Europe and the TI Oceana, which were part of a group of four ships constructed between 2002 and
    2003. The other two ships, TI Africa and TI Asia were converted into floating storage and mooring units in 2010. Oil
    tankers have a commercial life expectancy of about 30 years.
    Because of their huge mass, tankers have a large inertia, making them very difficult to steer. A loaded supertanker
    could take as much as 3 kilometers and 15 minutes to come to a full stop and has a turning diameter of about 2
    kilometers. Among the main tanker classes are:
    Coastal Tanker:
    LxBxD=205x29x16m; Less than 50,000 deadweight tons, mainly used for transportation of refined products (gasoline,
    gasoil).
    Aframax:
    LxBxD=245x34x20m; Approximately 80,000 deadweight tons (American Freight Rate Association).
    Suezmax:
    LxBxD=285x45x23m; Between 125,000 and 180,000 deadweight tons, originally the maximum capacity of the Suez
    Canal.
    VLCC:
    LxBxD=350x55x28; Very Large Crude Carrier. Up to around 300,000 deadweight tons of crude oil.
    ULCC:
    LxBxD=415x63x35m; Ultra Large Crude Carrier. Capacity exceeding 300,000 deadweight tons. The largest tankers
    ever built have a deadweight of over 550,000 deadweight tons.
