Oil tankers typically move at speeds of about 12 to 16 knots (approximately 14 to 18 miles per hour or 22 to 30 kilometers per hour). Their speed can vary based on factors such as the type of tanker, weather conditions, and navigational requirements. Larger tankers may operate at the lower end of this range to optimize fuel efficiency and ensure safety during transit.
designed to move oil around the world
Oil tankers are purpose-built ships used to move large amounts of (crude) oil over the World. Basically huge boat-shaped oil tanks with an Engine room and some crew space at the back.

Oil tankers do not sail near Antarctica: it's not on the way to or from anywhere where oil is transported.
Any kind; tankers carry crude oil and oil products. Tankers that carry oil products are often called product carriers. Specialist tankers carry vegetable oils, sewage and water. Not all at once of course!
Oil energy is usually delivered through pipelines, tankers, and trucks. Pipelines are the most common method and transport crude oil to refineries. Tankers move refined oil products to various destinations around the world. Trucks are used for local delivery of oil products to end users.
Because the World had started using so much oil that building custom ships to move it around became a sensible idea.
Most large oil tankers simply carry the oil from one port to another or from an offshore installation to a depot.
