A supertanker typically draws between 15 to 20 meters (49 to 66 feet) of water when fully loaded. This depth, known as the ship's draft, can vary based on the vessel's size and the cargo it carries. For instance, the largest supertankers, like the Ultra Large Crude Carriers (ULCCs), can have a draft of up to 24 meters (79 feet). The exact draft can also depend on factors like water salinity and temperature.
