A tanker for transporting crude oil. Since the 1970s, the term has been applied to ships capable of carrying over 250,000 tonnes of oil, or two million barrels. They are known in the industry as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs). Above about 350,000 tonnes, they are known as Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs).
The largest ship ever, the Jahre Viking, had a capacity of 568,000 tonnes and was over 450 metres long.

plans for a super tanker
A supertanker floats due to a principle in physics known as buoyancy. The volume of water displaced by the weight of the supertanker is greater than the weight of the ship itself, allowing it to float on the surface of the water. Additionally, the design and shape of the hull help distribute the weight of the ship evenly, aiding in its ability to float.
according to an article I found a 200,000-320,000 supertanker (some are twice as big and that i do not know) costs $125,000,000 I did some arithmetic from wikepedia but the price are on http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/06/21/bloomberg/sxships.php
between 20000 and 37000 liters per hour
