How large is the Very Large Crude Carrier?

Various cargoes such as containers, automobiles, iron ore, coal, oil, etc. are transported by sea. The total volume of marine transportation is about 12 billion tons a year, of which about 25% is oil [crude oil and petroleum products]. In oil transportation, crude oil trade accounts for about 70% of the total oil shipments, and most of them are transported by VLCCs “Very Large Crude Carrier”.
