Liquid freight ships
Tankers is the plural of tanker, a ship or vehicle designed to transport liquids in bulk—typically oil, fuel, or chemicals.
An oil tanker carries crude oil across oceans; a tanker truck delivers gasoline to service stations.
In military contexts, a tanker is an aircraft that refuels other planes mid-flight: The fighters rendezvoused with tankers over the Atlantic.
Tanker also refers informally to the crew members who operate tanks or tanker vehicles.
