Fuel and Cargo Handling
- Product tankers carry diesel (AGO), petrol (PMS), kerosene and jet fuel in segregated tanks, and the tank coating and cargo pumps decide which grades the vessel can take
- Cargo normally goes ashore to onshore depots and jetties. Some product imports are first discharged by ship-to-ship transfer at an offshore anchorage
- Gas carriers for LPG and LNG are a different vessel type with different tanks and surveys, so say so if your cargo is gas
Flag, Class and Trading Plan
- Decide early where the vessel will trade, because that shapes the flag, registration and crewing you need
- Ask your broker and a maritime lawyer to confirm the registration and trading requirements for your plan before you commit
- Check that class and statutory certificates are current for the trade and the flag you intend
What Buyers Inspect
- Class status and the full survey history from the classification society
- A pre-purchase inspection by an independent surveyor, including an underwater hull survey or drydock inspection
- Cargo tank condition and coatings, cargo pumps, heating and inert gas systems

- Statutory certificates, port state control history and any detentions
Typical Trades for This Class

Which fuels can a product tanker carry?
Typically diesel (AGO), petrol (PMS), kerosene and jet fuel, in separate tanks. The coating, pumps and cleaning history decide which grades a particular vessel can take, so check them for your cargo. LPG and LNG need a gas carrier.
