    Indian Maritime University: Oil Tankers Can Be Divided Into Two Basic Types: - Crude Oil Tankers - Product Tankers

    Product tankers are smaller oil tankers that carry refined petroleum products like gasoline, kerosene, and diesel rather than crude oil. They have a similar layout to crude oil tankers with cargo tanks, ballast tanks, slop tanks, and pump rooms. However, product tankers have a larger number of smaller cargo tanks and lower capacity cargo pumps since the refined products are more volatile and viscous than crude oil. Modern large product tankers over 20,000 tons also have inert gas systems to reduce risks from flammable cargo vapors.

    BNA 023 CARGO HANDLING & STOWAGE


    Block no. 1 Cargo handling and Care
    Unit No. 1 Cargo pumps and Piping Systems
    A basic introduction to Oil Tankers

    Oil Tankers can be divided into two basic types:

    • Crude Oil Tankers


    • Product Tankers

    •In layout of cargo tanks, ballast tanks, slop tanks,
    pumproom, engine room, double bottom tanks etc. product
    tankers are akin to crude oil tankers.

    •They are generally smaller in size than crude oil tankers.

    •The tank internals are coated to protect against cargo


    contamination by rust and corrosivity of the cargo attacking
    the steel of the ship.

    •The cargo tanks are provided with a cargo tank heating


    system.

    •They have a larger number of small cargo tanks.

    Products tanker
    •The products usually carried are naptha, motor spirit,
    kerosene, diesel, etc.

    •The cargo pumping system is designed to handle cargo at


    comparatively lower loading discharging rates.

    •Lower rates are used because some products are


    extremely volatile, some are viscous, some are unstable.

    •Product tankers are provided with cargo pumps of lower


    capacities.

    •A new product tanker of over 20,000 tons deadweight will


    be provided with an inert gas system.
