LIQUID CARGO SHIPS

Question 1

are the counterpart of dry cargo ships in transporting cargo. However, in this case, the cargo is in liquid form. They are most commonly called tanker vessels because these ships use tanks instead of holds and hatches to carry cargo.

Answer 1

Liquid cargo/Tankers

Question 2

are designed to transport raw or unprocessed oil known as crude oil.

Answer 2

Crude oil tanker

Question 3

are technically the largest ships in the world. They have cargo carrying capacity ranging between 320,000 to 500,000 dwt. These vessels serve limited number of ports because of their huge sizes

Answer 3

Ultra large crude carriers

Question 4

have slightly less carrying capacity than ULCCs, though they are designed for the very same purpose and operation. These vessel have a carrying range between 180,000 to 320,000 deadweight

Answer 4

Very Large Crude carriers

Question 5

are vessels that can transit the Canal without problems regarding ship dimensions. They are average tankers with cargo carrying capacity ranging from 120,000 to 200,000 dwt.

Answer 5

Suezmax

Question 6

an average-sized tanker vessel smaller than VLCC and t with a cargo carrying capacity ranging between 80,000 and 120,000 They can operate and be accommodated in many ports of the world beca of their favorable size, especially those ports that cannot accommodate l vessels like VLCCS and ULCCS. The name Aframax was derived from t acronym AFRA which stands for Average Freight Rate Assessment

Answer 6

Aframax

Question 7

These vessels normally carry cargoes such as acids, alkaline, alcohol, monomers, chlorinated alkenes, and other chemical constituents.

Answer 7

Chemical Tankers

Question 8

These mostly apply to LPG carriers where the gas is carried in cylindrical tanks under ambient temperature but pressurized such that it becomes liquid.

Answer 8

Pressurized Gas Carriers

Question 9

This mostly applies to LNG carriers where the gas are carried at atmospheric pressure at low temperature.

Answer 9

Fully refregirated/Fully insulated

Question 10

This mostly applies to ethylene

gas carriers that made way to the technical mixing of liquefaction

between fully pressurized and fully refrigerated means.

Answer 10

Semi pressurized/Semi Refrigirated
