Product tankers Carry refined oil products that can be classified into two main groups:
- White products (Diesel oil, gasoline, jet fuels, kerosene, lube oils, etc.)
- Black products (fuel oils, residual products)
- Clean cargo tanks characterized by:
- – No structural elements inside the cargo space (double skin)
- – Corrugated bulkheads (transverse and longitudinal)
- – Cargo tanks painted or internally coated
- Each cargo tank is provided with a segregated cargo system including a submersible pump and its own cargo line to the manifold, on deck
- The number of possible cargo segregations on board is equal to the number of cargo tanks
- Typically these tankers are smaller than the crude oil tankers, with DW < 70,000 t
