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.

The amount of oil a tanker ship can hold varies significantly depending on its size and type. For example, a typical Aframax tanker can carry around 80,000 to 120,000 deadweight tons of oil, while a supertanker like a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) can hold approximately 200,000 to 320,000 deadweight tons. This translates to roughly 1.4 million to 2 million barrels of oil for a VLCC, depending on the specific design and cargo conditions.
