List of tankers

Hellespont Alhambra (now TI Asia), a ULCC TI class supertanker, the largest oceangoing ships in the world

This is a list of tankers. The list includes merchant tankers as well as naval tankers that do not fall into more specialized lists such as List of replenishment ships of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary and List of Type T2 Tanker names.

This is an incomplete list that may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
