Bulk petroleum transport is a multi-billion dollar industry today. Because oil tankers
are such expensive vessels, they often operate under contracts arranged by chartering
agents. See Life on an Oil Tanker. Shipping agents arrange for bulk liquid cargos to be
transported on the basis of bare-boat charters, time charters, or voyage charters.

Oil tankers are perhaps the
largest moving objects made
by man. Today’s modern
VLCCs (Very Large Crude
Carriers) and ULCCs (Ultra
Large Crude Carriers) dwarf
the turbo-electric T-2 tankers
of World War II. These
gargantuan vessels are
constructed and operated on
the premise that the same
number of crew members
needed to navigate a 30,000
vessel can navigate a 300,000
ton vessel, which is basically
an economy of size.

The ULCC Hellespont Alhambra is a heavyweight that tips the scales at 440,000 DWT. It is
among the largest tankers in the world today, constructed with a double hull, an attribute of
tanker construction which has become important in complying with the environmental protection
measures of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Measuring over 1,200 feet in length, the ship draws
more than 80 feet when fully loaded. Back in 1974, the author Noel Mostert wrote Supership, a
book about his voyage aboard the 220,000 ton VLCC SS Ardshiel. The book opened the public’s
eyes to the unique characteristics of large crude carriers, which today have grown even larger
in size since the writing of the New York Times bestseller.

In a bare-boat charter, the unmanned vessel hired to transport cargo and the agent
makes crewing arrangements. In a time charter, a vessel is contracted for a given time
period, while in a voyage charter, a vessel is contracted for a given voyage. A tanker
has a finite lifespan of two or three decades and the owners want to ensure that
money is not wasted by a ship that sits idle in port. LNG Tankers are another extremely
high-value type of ship that owners cannot allow to stand idle. Click the link above to

What is it like to work on an
oil tanker? The voyages are
long and the ports of call may
be offshore oil terminals in the
Middle East and Asia. Crews
stay busy with keeping the
vessel seaworthy. The captain
has a mountain of paperwork,
and the first officer must be
ever vigilant with the cargo.
See the link below the photo
at left about Life on an Oil
Tanker, to go our "Hard Work"
page, where you'll find a link to
a great photo essay about life
aboard the Musashi Spirit,
operated by Teekay Tankers.
Life for deck and engine
department personnel alike
means chipping, painting,
maintaining machinery,
inspecting safety gear, and
conducting lifeboat drills. The
galley staff must keep the
entire crew happy with meals
and snacks around the clock.
It is like life in a factory that
never shuts down and never
stands still, other than to load
and unload cargo.
