1 a very large ship for transporting oil:
an oil supertanker
The example of the ship controller, however, refers to what seems to be a real problem in the navigation of bulk carriers and supertankers.
Supertanker was formed after this meeting with the aim of working for a more constructive and creative dialogue regarding the harbour development.
I take pictures of most things that float on the surface of the water; from oil rigs to supertankers, from yachts and dinghies.
The one thing that is certain is that the supertanker is here to stay.
We all understand that supertankers take a long time to turn around.
We had to develop supertankers because we could not use the canal.
The analogy with a supertanker is therefore apt.
I take the point about whether someone could obtain an exemption certificate for a car ferry and then pilot a supertanker.
