The first oil tanker is generally recognized as the "Zoroaster," built in 1861 by the Scottish engineer and inventor, Ludvig Nobel. It was designed to transport kerosene from the oil fields of Baku, Azerbaijan, to refineries in Europe. The Zoroaster had a carrying capacity of about 1,000 tons and marked a significant advancement in maritime transport for oil, paving the way for the development of modern oil shipping.
