A double-hulled oil tanker is designed with two separate layers of hulls, which provide an additional barrier between the oil cargo and the external environment. This design significantly reduces the risk of spills in the event of a collision or grounding, as the outer hull can absorb impact and prevent breaches in the inner hull. Additionally, the space between the two hulls can serve as a containment area for any leaks, further enhancing environmental safety. Overall, double-hulled tankers are considered much safer and more environmentally friendly than single-hulled tankers.

How oil tanker transfer fuel from terminal?
Oil tankers transfer fuel from a terminal using a process called "bunkering." The tanker connects to the terminal through loading arms or hoses that facilitate the transfer of oil. Pumps on the terminal and the tanker help move the fuel from the terminal's storage tanks into the ship's cargo tanks. This process is closely monitored for safety and efficiency to prevent spills and ensure proper handling of the fuel.
Why is it difficult to clean up the Gulf of Mexico's oil spill?
Oil spills are difficult to clean up in general. If oil spills from a tanker, the most oil than can go into the water body is the volume of oil in a tanker. However in this case, the well is producing approximately 5,000 barrels of oil per day (210,000 gallons). So, even mobilizing everything available to control the spill, oil booms, skimmers, use of dispersants, controlled burns, more oil keeps leaving the well. The large canopy that they are preparing to put over the well is not the final solution, but it should reduce the rate of oil that is entering the gulf waters. It should mitigate the damage. It is necessary to kill the blown out well, and BP is in the process of drilling two relief wells.
What ia a fpso i know it is rig .i would like to know the full name of fpso?
FPSO is an acronym for Floating Production, Storage, Offtake (or Offload). An FPSO is typically a big ship used in the oil industry in deepwater producing oil fields. The wells are at the seabed and flow back to the FPSO. The ship is moored in place and contains the production equipment used to process the oil. Once processed, the oil is stored in the hull of the FPSO. Once there is enough oil in stored in the FPSO, a tanker will pull near the FPSO and the oil will be pumped from the FPSO to the tanker.

The tanker is a hollow shell, so it can be filled with oil. One of the problems is that many are not doubled hold and when they hit something they leak. It is unloaded by pipeline.
