Oil Tanker Tracker — Crude and Product Tanker AIS

Track crude oil tankers, product tankers, VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax activity with AIS positions and port context.

Oil tanker tracking for crude, product and large tanker classes

The Oil Tanker Tracker is the dedicated TankerMap page for crude oil and oil product tanker movements. It covers 3,201 crude oil tankers in the public fleet database in the public fleet database, including VLCC, Suezmax and Aframax vessels, and links live AIS positions to vessel profiles, destination fields, observed routes and oil port pages.

Use this page when the search intent is oil-market shipping rather than a general map view. It points to VLCC fleet pages, export and import terminals, chokepoint analytics around Hormuz, Suez and Malacca, and market data for energy context. For all tanker types together, use the live tanker map; for gas carriers, use the LNG tanker tracker.
