Some new fitness plans promise weight-loss miracles with strength training â but say aerobic exercise isn't worth the energy.
In 1959 the 114,356 dwt âUniverse Apolloâ became the first tanker to pass the 100,000-ton figure: within a decade ships five times that size were being planned. The biggest oil tankers were built in the 1970s after the 1973 oil crisis. Thus a new generation of tanker was born, the VLCCs (Very Large Crude Carriers) and the ULCCs (Ultra Large Crude Carriers). The biggest oil tanker and biggest ship ever constructed â âSeawise Giantâ was built in 1979.
How many barrels of oil does a tanker truck hold? A gasoline tanker truck holds 9,000 gallons of gasoline. Since a  barrel of oil is 44 gallons, one can assume that an oil tanker  truck can haul about 200 barrels of crude.
