	Tanker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A tanker, also called a tank truck or tanker lorry, is a heavy road vehicle designed for the same purpose.
		A tanker is also a piece of firefighting equipment used to carry or shuttle large amounts of water to a fire scene where traditional fire plugs (hydrants) are not available.
		A tanker, in the massive-multiplayer lingo, is a character able to resist or shrug off heavy amounts of damage relatively unharmed.

	CNN.com - Pollution fears over sunken chemical tanker - October 31, 2000
		The Italian tanker Ievoli Sun went down on Tuesday about 10 miles northwest of Alderney in the Channel Islands in a depth of 60 metres after its crew were airlifted off the stricken vessel on Monday.
		On board were almost 4,000 metric tonnes of styrene, a chemical used in synthetic plastics, 1,027 tonnes of methyl ethyl ketone, 996 tonnes of IPA-ISO propyl alcohol.
		Of the chemicals on board, styrene was the most toxic to marine life and humans, rendering people unconscious if they inhaled the fumes and with the potential to kill fish.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Long-term prospects for chemical shipments in Asia still good
		May 28, 1998 Despite the economic crisis in Asia, and the resultant depressing effect on trade volumes, the long-term prospects remain strong for chemical tanker shipments to and from the region.
		This new trade has prompted Japanese chemical tanker operators to set up offices, or augment existing facilities, in Singapore, and to reallocate part of their fleet to service intra-Southeast Asia chemical movements.
		The regional chemical tanker trades in Asia are very competitive, with 15 significant operators and the top 2 - Iino Kaiun and Stolt Asia - supplying only 34 % of the tonnage.

		The chemical tanker contained 4,000 tonnes of styrene, 1000 tonnes of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and 1000 tonnes of isopropyl alcohol when it sank in heavy seas en route from Fawley in Southampton Water to Yugoslavia.
		Some of the chemicals will evaporate naturally into the atmosphere when reaching the surface, generating a vapour plume.
		"Chemical plume models have been run and show that the concentrations of chemical vapour are rapidly diluted and outside of 3km of the wreck site, in the worst case scenario, will no longer present any hazard to human health.

		With chemicals the procedure is similiar in the respect of weighing in at the shipper/receiver, paperwork, seals, etc. But after that entails much more responsibility during the loading/unloading procedure.
		For all to remember, chemical tankers generally get paid for everything related to work (just like a union job), whereas food-grade has greater potential to be more laid back with more miles, yet no accessory pay (depending on the company).

		When the tanker sank, most of the styrene was still in containers in the form of a liquid, however it now appears that the cargo is leaking.
		The chemical is made so that the liquid form is expected to solidify at cold temperatures, reducing the area to be potentially affected by the spill.
		The temperature at the bottom of the ocean (the tanker’s current position, -60m) should be low enough to cause this change, but there is the possibility that the styrene will remain in the liquid form and leak out.
