Oil tanker ships vary significantly in size, but they typically range from about 100 meters (328 feet) for smaller vessels to over 400 meters (1,312 feet) for large supertankers. The average size of a medium-sized oil tanker is generally around 250 meters (820 feet) in length. The specific length depends on the tanker class, such as Aframax, Suezmax, or Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC).

The capacity of a tanker ship can vary significantly depending on its size and design. A typical crude oil tanker can hold anywhere from 500,000 to over 2 million barrels of oil. For example, very large crude carriers (VLCCs) usually have capacities around 1.9 million barrels. Smaller tanker ships, like Aframax or Suezmax, generally hold between 500,000 and 1 million barrels.
