Why do you ship oil by ship?

You would ship oil by ship if you had to get it across the ocean. Pipelines have been considered but a pipeline that is large and long enough to transport oil from the Middle East to America for example, would cost a ton of money (several billion dollars). Therefore, they load it onto tanker vessels and ship it across the ocean.
