petroleum tanker
Crude cargo vessel
A petroleum tanker is a ship or truck designed to transport crude oil or refined petroleum products in bulk.
Ocean-going tankers move oil between continents, while smaller tankers distribute fuel domestically.
The term distinguishes these vessels from tankers carrying other liquids like chemicals or liquefied natural gas: The petroleum tanker ran aground, spilling thousands of barrels into the bay.
