The general impression of a tanker is a
huge vessel steaming from the Middle East to consumer countries
full of crude oil to be refined. But the tanker trade is much
larger and much more complex than that. Crude oil is just a part of
it; a large part, but there are many other elements.
Crude oil is carried in very large crude
carriers, or VLCCs, as well as in Suezmax, LR2 and Panamax tankers.
This book explains the characteristics of each type and their
typical trades. It also details other tanker trades. These include
clean products such as petrol or gasoline, diesel, gasoils, jet
fuels and all the other refined products.
Oil is also refined into elements called
chemical feedstock, where clean fluids such as naphtha are turned
into everyday chemicals and plastics. These end-products are
carried around the world in chemical carriers. Gas carriers are
also a branch of the tanker sector, carrying natural and petroleum
gases. As well as the ships and the trades, Tanker
Chartering describes types of employment and the relevant
contracts.
The book is aimed at those who are
training as tanker brokers but will also be useful for those who
wish to extend their existing knowledge of the shipping
industry.
