Can you travel as a passenger on an oil tanker?

Traveling as a passenger on an oil tanker is generally not permitted due to safety, security, and insurance regulations. Oil tankers are designed primarily for cargo transport and do not have the necessary accommodations or safety measures for passengers. However, some companies may offer specialized tours or experiences on certain types of vessels, but these are rare and typically only available for educational or promotional purposes. Always check with the specific shipping company for their policies regarding passenger travel.
