How big is a super tanker?

A supertanker is a large oil tanker that typically has a deadweight tonnage (DWT) of over 200,000 tons, with many capable of carrying up to 500,000 tons or more. These vessels can be over 1,200 feet long and around 200 feet wide, making them among the largest ships in the world. Supertankers are designed for the efficient transport of crude oil and other bulk liquids across oceans. Their size allows them to carry vast quantities of cargo, significantly reducing transportation costs per barrel.
