Product Tankers — Vessel List and Fleet Inventory

What this tanker class means

Product tankers carry refined petroleum products - gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, naphtha - and many also carry vegetable oils or chemicals on coated or stainless cargo systems. The class covers Handysize, MR, LR1 and LR2 hull sizes from roughly 10,000 up to 120,000 DWT.

Typical trades and constraints

Product trades are shorter and more fragmented than crude: intra-Asia, Transatlantic, Cross-Med and Continent–US routes dominate. Refined-product flows respond quickly to refinery outages and seasonal demand.

How to interpret the live fleet

Cargo systems determine what a ship can carry, but AIS does not disclose cargo grade; treat destination and parcel claims as signals, not evidence. Tanker classes and DWT guide.
