Cargo Types & Oil and Gas Storage Tanks

Maritime Fleet Overview

Types of Cargo Ships

The global petroleum and energy industry relies on specialized maritime vessels to transport crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquefied gases, chemicals, and other industrial commodities safely and efficiently. Each vessel is designed to accommodate specific cargo characteristics, handling requirements, and transportation conditions.

Infographic: types of cargo ships — bulk carrier, oil tanker, container ship, chemical tanker, LNG ship, VLCC, RORO ship, general cargo and livestock ship
01

Bulk Carrier

Bulk carriers transport unpackaged dry commodities such as coal, iron ore, grain, cement, and fertilizers in large cargo holds.

02

Oil Tanker

Oil tankers are designed to transport liquid petroleum cargo, including crude oil and refined products such as diesel, gasoline, fuel oil, and kerosene.

03

Container Ship

Container ships transport standardized shipping containers carrying manufactured goods, industrial equipment, consumer products, and commercial materials.

04

Chemical Tanker

Chemical tankers carry specialized liquid chemicals and petrochemical products, including methanol, solvents, and other industrial chemical cargoes.

05

LNG Carrier

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers transport natural gas in liquid form at extremely low temperatures using specialized cryogenic containment systems.

06

Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC)

VLCCs are large ocean-going tankers designed primarily for transporting substantial volumes of crude oil across international shipping routes.

07

Ro-Ro Ship

Roll-on/Roll-off vessels transport wheeled cargo such as automobiles, trucks, trailers, heavy machinery, and specialized industrial vehicles.

08

General Cargo Ship

General cargo vessels transport packaged goods, machinery, steel products, equipment, and other conventional cargoes that are not necessarily containerized.

09

Livestock Carrier

Livestock carriers are specialized vessels designed for the transportation of live animals, with appropriate ventilation, feeding, watering, and animal-care facilities.

Containment Specifications

Types of Oil & Gas Storage Tanks

Oil and gas storage infrastructure plays a fundamental role in petroleum production, refining, distribution, and international trading. Different storage systems are designed according to the characteristics of the product, operating pressure, temperature requirements, and applicable safety standards.

Infographic: types of oil and gas storage tanks — fixed roof, floating roof, dome roof, bullet, spherical, cryogenic and underground tanks
01

Fixed Roof Tanks

Fixed roof tanks feature a permanent roof attached to the tank structure and are commonly used for storing petroleum products with relatively low vapor pressure.

Typical applications:

Crude OilDieselFuel OilBitumenKerosene
02

Floating Roof Tanks

Floating roof tanks utilize a roof that moves vertically with the liquid level, helping reduce vapor space and evaporative losses.

Typical applications:

Crude OilGasolineNaphthaSelected petroleum blending components
03

Dome Roof Tanks

Dome roof tanks incorporate a domed roof structure and are suitable for various storage applications, including certain volatile products and specialized tank configurations.

Typical applications:

GasolineNaphthaCondensate
04

Bullet Tanks

Bullet tanks are horizontal cylindrical pressure vessels designed for storing liquefied petroleum gases and other pressurized products.

Typical applications:

LPGPropaneButanePropylene
05

Spherical Storage Tanks

Spherical tanks are engineered pressure vessels commonly used for storing liquefied gases under controlled pressure conditions.

Typical applications:

LPGPropaneButaneNatural Gas Liquids (NGL), where suitable design conditions apply
06

Cryogenic Storage Tanks

Cryogenic tanks are specially insulated storage systems designed to maintain gases in liquid form at extremely low temperatures.

Typical applications:

LNGLiquid EthaneLiquid Hydrogen
07

Underground Storage Tanks

Underground storage tanks are installed below ground level and are widely used in fuel distribution facilities, service stations, airports, and industrial installations.

Typical applications:

GasolineDieselAviation FuelHeating Oil
