Introduction An oil tanker is a preferred choice to work on for several seafarers because of better remuneration packages and fewer port visits as compared to other types of ships. Working on tanker ships is somewhat different than other ships as the hazards related to tanker operations are higher, requiring additional training and safety precautions for the safety of the ship and the crew. For seafarers who want to shift to tankers or even those who

This guide helps in understanding these critical tanker processes along with the step-by-step operating procedures and safety measures involved with them.
