Cargo Handling in Oil Tankers

The document discusses different types of oil tankers, including ore/oil carriers. Ore/oil carriers can carry ore in center cargo compartments located above double bottom tanks. These compartments have large, heavy steel hatch covers and sloped longitudinal plating to allow for self-stowing of ore cargo. The wing tanks are arranged like a conventional tanker and can carry oil or ballast. These ships have inert gas and crude oil washing systems.

Ore / Oil tanker

•This is an oil tanker equipped to carry ore in its centre


cargo compartments.

•Compared with similar-sized conventional tankers, the


main difference revolves around the centre compartments,
which are located over double bottom tanks

•They have large, heavy steel hatch covers

Ore / Oil tanker

•The centre compartments are arranged so that the


longitudinal plating slopes inwards.

•This provides a self-stowing factor when loading ore.

•The centre compartments are generally free from all


structural members which would hinder loading or
discharging ore.

Ore / Oil tanker

•The wing tanks are arranged in the same manner as a


conventional tanker.

•They are capable of carrying oil or ballast, as required.

•These ships are fitted with an Inert Gas System and a


Crude Oil Washing System.
