  1. The spud from Nigeria is trying to scam you, don't send him your bank account number. No one that has a cargo ship for sale, types with such ignorance and they certainly wouldn't list it on this website.


    Guest174196, if you are replying to the post above, he's not asking to convert dead weight tons to barrels, he hasn't asked one question, he's trying to scam people. He doesn't have a ship, no one that reads this website is looking for an oil tanker. Internet scams are a dime a dozen, many are sourced from Nigeria, or Nigeria through the Nederlands or South Africa. The answer to "your" question, the averaged weight value of a barrel of oil is 306 pounds, or 138.8 kilograms. That's the standard value, but it can vary between 300 and 315 pounds depending on the crude type. It's not tons to barrels it's barrels to tons and it's 5.53 barrels per US ton at averaged crude weight value.    


    Guest511492, 172 million gallons is incorrect, an average tanker carries 400,000 gallons. The  large tankers VLCC class (very large crude carrier) carry around 1 million gallons. The few supertankers ULCC class (ultra large crude carrier) can carry 2 million gallons. The supertankers generally stay out to sea carrying crude from oil platforms to smaller tankers, they're too large to go through the Panama Canal and too large to make it into many ports. The DWT or dead weight tons used to describe tankers does not reflect just the oil that it carries, nor is it a number that considers constructive weight of the ship or total displacement tonnage, it reflects fuel, water, ballast, supplies, passengers, crew etc and cargo, in this case oil. There are 6 dead weight classes.


    GPT - General Purpose Tanker 10,000 - 24,999 tons DWT


    MRT - Medium Range Tanker 25,000 - 44,999 tons DWT


    LR1 - Large Range 1 Tanker 45,000 - 79,999 tons DWT


    LR2 - Large Range 2 Tanker 80,000 - 159,999 tons DWT


    VLCC - 160,000 - 319,999 tons DWT


    ULCC - 320,000 - 549,999 tons DWT


    Don't buy into Nigerian scams.
