A crude oil tanker can carry varying amounts of oil depending on its size and class. The largest supertankers, known as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), can transport approximately 2 million barrels of crude oil, while smaller tankers, like Aframax or Suezmax, typically carry between 500,000 to 1.5 million barrels. The carrying capacity is crucial for efficient transportation and economics in the oil industry.

What cargo does a tanker carry?
A tanker primarily carries liquid cargoes, which can include crude oil, refined petroleum products, chemicals, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and other bulk liquids.

This translates to roughly 1.4 million to 2 million barrels of oil for a VLCC, depending on the specific design and cargo conditions.
