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
Typical Trades for This Class
- Feeding smaller jetties, creeks and river terminals
- Short coastal hops between depots
- Time-charter to marketers and depot operators
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
- Main engine and auxiliary running hours, maintenance records and any outstanding class conditions
- Statutory certificates, port state control history and any detentions
How a Tanker Sale Runs in Lagos

- Delivery with class and statutory certificates in force, a bill of sale and a deletion certificate from the previous flag
- Registration under the buyer's flag, then hull and machinery and P&I insurance before the vessel trades

Frequently Asked Questions
What does 5KMT mean for a tanker?
KMT stands for thousand metric tonnes, and it refers to deadweight, the total weight the ship can carry including cargo, fuel, water and stores. A 5KMT tanker carries about 5,000 tonnes of deadweight.
How much does a 5KMT tanker cost?
Price depends on age, class, build quality, survey status and the market on the day, so we do not publish one. Share your requirement and we will pass it to relevant brokers and sellers for an indication.
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.
Can you help me buy a 5KMT tanker in Lagos?
Yes. Send the age range, class, trading plan and budget on WhatsApp, and we will pass the requirement to relevant brokers and sellers. The sale itself runs through a broker and a standard sale contract.
What should I inspect before paying a deposit?
Ask for the class records and certificates, commission an independent pre-purchase inspection with an underwater hull survey, and keep the deposit with a neutral escrow agent until the vessel is delivered.
