tanker
Liquid cargo vessel
A tanker is a ship, truck, or aircraft designed to transport liquids in bulk—typically oil, fuel, or chemicals.
Oil tankers move crude across oceans; tanker trucks deliver gasoline to stations.
Military tankers refuel other aircraft in flight.
The word emphasizes capacity: The tanker spilled thousands of gallons into the bay.
