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.

What is the discharge pressure of the pumps on a 500000 bbl oil tanker?
The discharge pressure of pumps on a 500,000 barrel oil tanker typically ranges between 50 to 100 psi, depending on the design and operational requirements of the vessel. This pressure is necessary to efficiently transfer oil from the tanker's cargo tanks to the shore or other vessels during loading and unloading operations. Factors such as the distance to the discharge point and the viscosity of the oil can also influence the actual discharge pressure used.
What is salary of 4Th engineer in oil tanker?

Can you blend water and heavy fuel oil?
No, water does not burn. Blending it would reduce the effectiveness of the fuel oil as a fuel.
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.
Where you can find the viscosity temperature chart for fuel oil no6?
Please see the link in the related links section. Please note that actual viscosity of No. 6 fuel oil depends on the actual blend of products and the product specifications of the fuel oil. Fuel oils are usually classified by viscosity and sulfur. In particular more stringent sulfur specifications require more light products (light cycle oil (LCO) or unconverted oil (UCO)) to be blended into No. 6 fuel oil. This results in a less viscous fuel oil. There is no universal standard specification for No. 6 fuel oil.
How far can an oil tanker travel on one tank of fuel?
About 20 miles.
Why an oil tanker car has arrived at its destination it prepares to empty its fuel into a reservoir or tank. Part of the preparation involves connecting the body of the tanker car with a metal wire t?
The metal wire is connected to the oil tanker car to ensure grounding and prevent static electricity buildup during the transfer of fuel. As fuel is pumped out, friction can generate static charges, which pose a risk of ignition. Grounding the tanker car helps dissipate any static electricity, ensuring a safer and more controlled unloading process. This precaution is crucial in preventing potential explosions or fires in the presence of flammable materials.
Is a tanker the safest way to transport crude oil?
Pipelines are the safest way to transport fuel, oil, etc.
What does MR oil tanker mean?
MR oil tanker actually refers to Medium Range Product Tanker which is between 42,000 dwt to 59,999 dwt. There are two categories of ships in the oil tanker industry. First are the Product tankers which transport refined petroleum products like gasoline, diesel, naphtha, aviation fuel, etc. Second are the Crude carriers which transport unrefined crude oil.
What is an auxiliary oiler?
An auxiliary oiler is a naval oil tanker with the ability to perform underway replenishment of fuel oil or ship oil to ships of the fleet.
An observer noticed a large oil tanker parked at an oil terminal for 2 days. On the second day more of the hull of the ship was visible. Was the tanker picking up oil or delivering it?
A ship with a cargo rides lower in the water than when it has no cargo. As the cargo is unloaded, the ship rises in the water, revealing parts of the hull which had been below the water level. What the observer was looking at was a ship which was in the process of delivering its oil to the terminal.
What is a tanker's cargo?
Normally a Tanker carries some liquid, mostly Oil, therefore the term "Oil Tanker".
How much fuel does an oil tanker use to transport oil?
According to the CTF (Commercial Tankership Federation), the average hourly fuel consumption of a fully laden, large scale tanker ranges between 12,000 to 37,000 Litres (pre - refinement filtering). This is only a fraction of the carrying capacity of the tanker, and is also significantly less than other modes of transport equivalent fuel including train and road freight.
What was the oil tanker doing when it exploded in the Gulf of Mexico?
It was not an oil tanker, but a drilling platform.
What is the definition of the word tanker?
The definition of the word tanker, is a vehicle, a boat, or an aircraft, with the designated job of transporting tanks of liquid, typically oil, or some other form of liquid fuel.
How far can a car travel with the contents of a full oil tanker?
The distance a car can travel with the contents of a full oil tanker depends on several factors, including the size of the tanker, the fuel efficiency of the car, and the type of oil being transported. A standard oil tanker can hold about 6,000 to 10,000 gallons of oil. If we assume an average car gets about 25 miles per gallon, a tanker with 10,000 gallons could theoretically power a car for approximately 250,000 miles, though practical limitations would likely reduce this figure significantly.
What part of a oil tanker carries oil?
The oil cargo goes into cargo tanks, the fuel oil or bunker goes into the bunker tanks. The lubrication oil (lube oil) goes into the lube oil tanks.
