Case Studies on Major Conversion of Single-Hulled Oil Tankers

Introduction to Howo oil tanker

🏴 The Tanker Shadow fleet consists of vessels either directly connected to Russian, Iranian, or Venezuelan companies (such as Sovcomflot, NITC, PDVSA, etc.), or owned by shell companies with no track record of ship management, undertaking Russian business, loading Russian cargo, or involved in suspicious ship-to-ship (STS) transfers. 🛢️ 📊 By our estimates, over 700 active Tankers can currently be classed as part of the Shadow fleet. Over 60% of Russia's current Crude Oil exports are carried by this fleet, which itself is subdivided in a Dark and Ghost category. The average age of the Dark fleet vessels currently averages at 17 years, while the Ghost fleet is even older at an average of 19 years. 👴 📉 The increased market demand for older larger vessels has led to a practical halt of Tanker demolitions for ships over 85K MT of deadweight. Since the start of 2023, only 4 vessels of the Aframax, Suezmax, and VLCC categories have been scrapped. The last time a VLCC (200K+ MT deadweight) arrived at a scrap yard was in October 2022. ⌛ 💡 Our latest blog article explores in more detail the relationship between the rise of the Shadow fleet, the latest trends in the demolition market, and the effect on the overall average age of the global Tanker fleet. 👨💻 👉 Check it out in full detail at https://bit.ly/4gGMPj0

This is why oil tankers are divided into various segments using baffle sheets. These partitions help stabilize the liquid cargo, reducing the movement (sloshing) of oil during transport, and ensuring safer and more efficient voyages. 🤔
