An oil tanker is not filled to the brim to allow for the expansion of the cargo due to temperature changes, which can cause the oil to expand and risk overflowing. Additionally, leaving some space prevents excessive pressure buildup and potential structural damage to the tank. This practice also accommodates the movement of the ship in rough seas, reducing the risk of sloshing that could destabilize the vessel.
