    Having a job like that must be pretty slick . . . or crude . . . or a barrel of laughs.
  • I paint those for a living! Everyday they are at sea and not in repair saves my clients $$$
  • @kiowa1508
    How is this even REMOTELY about life inside the ship? The comment that there’s a galley and the crew eats?🤣🤣🤣

    This is a good video for knowing tanker and seamans job. I have experience of tanker operation on the sea and now working on the vlcc terminal with loading master.

    It would be interesting to work on a tanker, my only hesitancy would be the rough, stormy sea conditions that they can run into. I wonder how good the pay is, depending on the occupational specialty involved. I woold presome the cooks eat quite well, hopefully the crews do to. A real perk is the availability of a gym, and probably a good running track along the ship deck perimeter, although there may be restrictions on that. I wonder if any of these might also carry a few passengers, it would make for an interesting excursion. Wonder how much leeway the crew have in visiting ports of call, given where oil tankers go, i.e., the Middle East, crew members might have to observe some precautions on shore leaves. But they probably can sample some unique cuisines in cafes and restaurants.

    wonderful extremely large capacity oil transportation tanker which supply oil throughout the world #👍
  • @flesz_
    I asked chatgpt how many tanker truck can be filled with the oil from the supertanker A typical tanker truck used for fuel transport can carry around 30,000 to 35,000 liters of fuel. In contrast, a supertanker ship can carry millions of liters of oil, typically ranging from 300,000 to 2 million liters per tanker, depending on its size and capacity. Assuming an average supertanker capacity of 1.5 million liters and a tanker truck capacity of 32,500 liters, you could fill approximately 46 tanker trucks with the oil from a single supertanker shipment. Keep in mind that these are rough estimates, and actual capacities can vary based on specific tanker models and ship sizes..
  • A very knowledgeful and very technically sound Video for Professionals especially. Wonderful✅👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

    Great video. Where were the standby tugboats when that ship hit the bridge in Baltimore. Someone was not doing their job right.
