Bunker And Crude Oil Mini Vessels at Active Logistics, LLC
Active Logistics, LLC operates a fleet of crude oil tankers that play a crucial role in the transportation of refined products from refineries to our storage tanks. These tankers complement other modes of transportation, including pipelines and heavy vessels. Our tanker fleet encompasses a range of vessel sizes, from small General Purpose tankers, typically carrying between 10,000 to 25,000 tons, designed for the transport of refined products.
In addition to General Purpose tankers, we also utilize Large Range and Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCC) for international crude oil trade. The selection of tanker size for each trade route depends on the vessel’s length, loaded depth, and the capacity of the loading and unloading ports. Generally, larger ships are employed to optimize the cost of transporting each barrel of crude oil.
As of 2019, the global tanker fleet consisted of 4,186 vessels with a combined carrying capacity of 358.8 million deadweight tons (dwt). Notably, 84% of the tanker fleet was under the ownership of independent tanker companies, with an average fleet age of 11.9 years. Additionally, 68% of the vessels in operation were double-hulled ships, reflecting a commitment to safety and environmental standards in the industry.
