	Tanker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tanker (ship), a ship designed to carry bulk liquids, particularly oil
		A Tanker, in the massive-multiplayer lingo, a character able to resist or shrug off heavy amounts of damage relatively unharmed.
		A party with a tanker usually use him as a monster bait -- while he 'takes' the damage, the rest of the party members actually kill the monsters.

	Tanker (ship) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tankers can range in size from several hundred tons, designed for servicing small harbours and coastal settlements, to several hundred thousand tons, with these being designed for long-range haulage.
		Among oil tankers, supertankers were designed for carrying oil around the Horn of Africa from the Middle East; the supertanker Knock Nevis being the largest vessel in the world.
		Tankers used for liquid fuels are classified according to their capacity.

	New Jersey Scuba Diver - Artifacts & Shipwrecks - Tanker
		Tankers are enormously strong vessels, built with a honeycomb construction, a modern crude carrier typically having fifteen cargo tanks protected by a double hull structure around the sides and bottom, in which sea water ballast can be carried for the empty voyage after the oil cargo has been delivered.
		Specialist tankers include vessels which are configured to carry as many as fifty different grades of chemicals and oils, each with their own separate pumping systems and capable of coping with cargoes that need to shipped hot, cold or under a blanket of nitrogen.
		Newer tankers are "double-hulled", with an air space between the hull and the storage tanks, to reduce the risk of a spill in the event the hull is breached.

	CTV.ca \| Oil tanker hits sunken ship in English Channel
		Even though the ship was carrying some 70,000 tonnes of primarily diesel and heavy fuel to New York, Breyne said only a third of the cargo was at risk because of the compartmentalization of the ship.
		Because the ship sat deeper in the water since the accident it would not be able to enter a Belgian port and it was unclear where it would be towed to.
		Once ships were able to approach the vessel, fuel would be pumped into other ships until the Vicky was light enough to enter a Belgian port or Rotterdam in the neighbouring Netherlands.

	Turbocharger Failure Puts Tanker Adrift (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Deployment of the ship’s anchors was not an option for stopping the ship’s drift, because the waters of Haro Strait are too deep.
		The U.S. Coast Guard, determining that the ship "posed an imminent and substantial risk to the marine environment," advised the ship’s Master that he would be required to hire the tug upon its arrival.
		Ship repairs and testing required about a week, with the ship resuming its voyage to Vancouver, BC at 2300 on January 13th.

		While the report does not recommend prohibiting tankers from carrying LNG through heavily populated areas, it says those shipments should occur only after "the most rigorous deterrent measures" are in place to reduce the probability of an attack.
		If a missile or explosive should tear a hole in a tanker or a storage tank, however, the escaping liquid would be transformed instantaneously into a gas and probably would ignite in a massive fire.
		The study found that the foam insulation used on many LNG tankers is likely to decompose under intense heat from a fire, resulting in a heat transfer that "could lead to rupture or collapse" of adjacent tanks, adding to the cascading effect.

		This distance is measured from the bottom of the ship to the surface of the water.

	Opinions about the Prestige disaster

		I think that the catastrophe of the tanker "Prestige" is a misfortune for the fishermen of Galicia, because the fish that live in the cost of Galicia have died due to the fuel that is in the cost of Galicia.
		The ship was old (twenty years old) and the fuel oil escaped from the ship is 20.000 tones, but it still has 50.000 tones of fuel oil in it.

	The Daily Times - www.delmarvanow.com - Salisbury, Md.
		NORFOLK, Va. -- The captain of a tanker ship that sank after an explosion on board two years ago abandoned ship without sending a distress call or trying to save his crew, a newspaper reported Monday, citing a Coast Guard investigation.
		The Bow Mariner, a 570-foot ship, picked up a cargo of methyl tert butyl ether in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, on Jan. 24, 2004, and unloaded part of it in New York three days before the accident.
		Coast Guard investigators also blamed a Greek company, Ceres Hellenic Shipping Enterprises Ltd., which managed the ship, and the senior officers on board for the disaster, saying there was a failure to comply with the company's and ship's Safety, Quality and Environmental System that likely exposed crew members to toxic vapors.

	Worldandnation: Tanker sinking portends spill calamity
		The single-hulled ship was carrying nearly twice the amount of oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez off Alaska in 1989.
		Presumably the ship has gone all the way down to the seabed, but if it is floating underwater it will continue to leak oil, Garcia Fierro was quoted as saying by the national news agency Efe.
		The ship's rupture and sinking has raised questions about older, single-hull ships like the Prestige that are due to be phased out by 2015.
