The average capacity of an oil tanker varies significantly based on its type. Generally, a small tanker can hold around 10,000 to 30,000 barrels, while a medium-sized tanker typically carries between 50,000 and 100,000 barrels. Larger tankers, such as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), can transport approximately 200,000 to 320,000 barrels, and the largest Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs) can hold over 400,000 barrels. Overall, the capacity of oil tankers can range widely depending on their design and purpose.

Capacity of an oil tanker truck?
the capacity of how much a tanker truck holds is 40,000 kl
How many barrels of crude oil are carried in a tanker truck?
A typical tanker truck can carry between 5,000 to 11,000 gallons of crude oil, depending on its size and design. This translates to approximately 120 to 260 barrels of crude oil, as one barrel is equivalent to 42 gallons. The exact capacity may vary based on regulations and the specific configuration of the truck.
How many barrels of oil does a super tanker hold?
A supertanker can hold between 200,000 to over 400,000 deadweight tons of oil, which translates to approximately 1.5 million to 3 million barrels of oil, depending on the specific design and capacity of the vessel. The exact capacity may vary among different supertankers, but they are among the largest ships used for transporting oil across oceans.
How many barrels of oil does an average oil tanker carry and how does this compare to the April 2010 oil well platform spill in the Gulf of Mexico?
Your question is quite simple. However, there is no average tanker or tanker oil spill. Nor is there an average oil well blow out. Both are relatively rare events. Capacity ranges of tankers ranges from 10,000 to 500,000 deadweight tonnes. Now, their carrying capacity is in terms of weight. However using a standard of West Texas Crude (39.7 degrees API) I can convert 1 metric tonne to 7.6 barrels, so this becomes a capacity range of 76,000 barrels to 3.8 million barrels. A pretty large range. As stated in the related link on oil tankers, a very large crude carrier, (VLCC), capacity is approximately 2 million barrels of oil. Now, this doesn't mean that an accident with a VLCC will release this volume of oil. As shown in the attached link on oil spills, there have been only 3 huge tanker accidents in the last 43 years (since 1970), with spills in the range of 252,000 to 287,000 DWT (approx. 1.9 to 2.2 million barrels). The highly publicized Exxon-Valdez at 10.9 million gallons or 260,000 million barrels, is comparatively much smaller than the huge and rare tanker spills Most tanker oil spills are very small (less than 7 tonnes or 53 barrels) due to operational errors. In the last 43 years, there has been a declining trend in the number of oil tankers spills. (see related link). The worst accident in 20 years, spilled 62,000 tonnes. Now, the quantity of oil spilled from a blown out (or wild) well, may be difficult to quantify. For the April 2010 blow out, the total quantity discharged into the gulf will be unknown until the well is killed. But, let us suppose (no harm in this), that the containment dome fails, and we have 120 days of flow at 5,000 barrels per day, then 600,000 barrels will enter the Gulf, more than twice the volume that Exxon-Valdez discharged, but hardly a record spill when compared with tanker spills. The volume spilled is of course important. In making comparisons, I would think it is equally important to look at where the spills occurred, (near or far from natural important coastal habitats) how successful skimming, containment, and other control actions were, and if in the end, better safety procedures could be implemented to prevent spills. My point is that spills are difficult to generalize. Sorry for such a long explanation. See related links.

How much oil can a product oil tanker hold?
The capacity of a product oil tanker can vary significantly depending on its size and design, but they typically hold between 25,000 to 80,000 deadweight tons (DWT) of cargo. This translates to approximately 180,000 to 600,000 barrels of oil. Larger tankers, known as medium range (MR) or long range (LR) tankers, can hold even more, with some exceeding 100,000 DWT.
