How to calculate the capacity of an oil tanker?
(OP)
Hello:
Can anyone help me in figuring out how to calculate the crude oil capacity of an oil tanker compared to its dwt ?
If the same calculations apply to the LNG tankers ?
Thank you,
Justin

If your co. is looking at using one, the owners of the transport know what they haul both in weight and volume
If it is a new one, the mfg can give you a exact capacity
but looking at empy to full weight ?? to many unkowns
like how much ballast they use ? just to mess up things!

The tdw contains:
- payload, meaning the cargo
- ballast water
- fresh water
- fuel for the engines
- and provisions.
Hope this helps.

What is a better investment an Oil Tanker or a LNG Tanker ?
I have been reading a lot about how LNG terminals are now being built all over the world, and wondered where the potential lies. Any help from anyone will be appreciated. I know the questions I have posted are in their simplist form simple or complex answers are most welcome. Thank you.

Sure now all over the world LNG terminals are being built but do you know the price difference for the same capacity LNG and an oil Tanker?
Besides, for an advice, now the companies are going for Multi Purpose vessels! LNG is a big fish and big fish always has been eaten by other big fish ;)
Next 5-10 years will be the year of Multi Purpose carriers with the capacities between 7000 DWT and 16000 DWT
