ABOUT TANKER SHIPPING: A principal
function of the tanker sector is to transport crude oil from oil
production and export facilities to oil terminals, storage
facilities, pipeline systems and oil refineries internationally. In
addition, tankers are also involved in the carriage of refined
petroleum products, such as gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and naphtha,
from refineries to storage and distribution systems, industrial
plants and other consumers. Tankers generally are a more
cost-effective alternative to pipelines and their advantages
increase over distance. Pipelines are also considered to be more
vulnerable to political instability, sabotage, economic blockade
and the risk of environmental disaster.
There are two principal types of providers of international
seaborne transportation services for crude oil and refined
petroleum products: independent shipowners and end users, such as
oil, energy, petrochemical and trading companies (both private and
state-owned). Tonnage controlled by end users is primarily
chartered from independent shipowners under short-term spot market
contracts and long-term time charters, with the balance being
directly owned. The prices for transporting crude oil and refined
petroleum products, which are referred to as tanker charter rates,
are set in highly competitive markets in which both independent and
end-user tonnage participate.
In recent years, the tanker sector has undergone a process of
consolidation that has resulted in greater co-operation between
owners and charterers as both seek greater economic efficiencies
and continued improvements in quality, safety and environmental
protection standards. As a result, oil companies acting as
charterers, terminal operators, shippers and receivers are becoming
increasingly selective and rigorous in their inspection and vetting
of vessels and their acceptance of vessels and operators. Safety
and environmental protection has been a major focus of the tanker
industry over the past years. Regulations such as OPA 90 and IMO
have caused tanker owners to take extra care in the maintenance of
their vessels. According to IMO regulation, only double hull
tankers trade as of 2010 with single hull tankers phasing out.
Vessels in the tanker fleet can be divided into categories based
on their size in deadweight tons, or dwt, which is a vessel's
capacity for cargo, fuel, oil, stores and crew measured in metric
tons (1,000 kilograms). The following are the main categories of
tankers based on dwt: (1) Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs) --
tankers with capacity of 200,000 dwt and over; (2) Suezmax tankers
-- tankers with capacity ranging from 120,000 to 200,000 dwt; (3)
Aframax tankers -- tankers with capacity ranging from 80,000 to
120,000 dwt; (4) Panamax tankers -- tankers with capacity ranging
from 60,000 to 80,000 dwt; (5) Medium Range tankers (MR) -- tankers
with capacity ranging from 25,000 to 60,000 dwt, and (6) Small
tankers -- tankers with capacity up to 26,999 dwt. A 300,000 dwt
tanker can carry 2 million barrels of crude oil, while a Suezmax
can carry about 1 million barrels and an Aframax between up to
about 800,000 barrels.
Tankers that transport refined petroleum products are referred
to as products tankers. Products tankers generally range in size
from 10,000 to 80,000 dwt, although there are some larger products
tankers designed for niche long-haul trades, such as from the
Middle East to Japan, Korea and South East Asia. Products tankers
generally have cargo-handling systems that are designed to
transport several different grades of refined petroleum products
simultaneously. These systems include coated cargo tanks that
facilitate cleaning between voyages involving different
cargoes.
Ice Class tankers are vessels that have been constructed (in
compliance with Finnish-Swedish Ice Class Rules) with strengthened
hulls, a sufficient level of propulsive power for transit through
ice-covered routes and specialized machinery and equipment for cold
climates.
