A tanker primarily carries liquid cargoes, which can include crude oil, refined petroleum products, chemicals, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and other bulk liquids. Depending on its design, a tanker may be specialized for specific types of cargo, such as oil tankers for crude oil or chemical tankers for hazardous liquids. The cargo is usually transported in large quantities, making tankers essential for global trade in liquid commodities.
