Is there any data about why do rocks sink and supertankers float?
Yes, the data dates back to the Greek mathematician, Archimedes. He discovered that when the mass of an object placed on the water is less than the mass of the water it displaces that object will float. Supertankers cover much area with their mass (thus displacing much water), while rocks generally (with the exception, for example, of pumice) do not.
How much can an oil tanker hold?
Oil tanker ships come in various sizes, from about 20,000 tons to 500,000 tons. "Supertankers" are generally defined as those greater than 250,000 tonnes dead-weight (meaning the maximum weight they can carry when fully loaded). Today's supertankers, on average, can carry about 2 million barrels or 84 million gallons of crude oil and petroleum product. The largest supertanker in the world is the Norwegian-owned Knock Nevis which is 647,955 tonnes dead-weight and can hold 4.1 million barrels of petroleum.Depending on its size and capacity, oil tankers can hold anything from a few thousand DWT and up to 550 000 DWT in ultra large crude tankers.DWT is Deadweight Tonnage. 550 000 DWT roughly equals 4 million barrels of crude oil.
