It's a big arse boat.
That tracker link has some interesting stuff on it. There's a big one docked at Port of Baton Rouge now with lots of photos.

Refined products generally aren’t put in supertankers. They tend to be in an Aframax size ship or smaller.
The US is a net refined product exporter, and will remain so for a long time.

Don't we basically supply all of Mexico since they have no refining there?

Unless something huge changes. Like allowing the export of crude oil....
Say you have a billion dollars to open a new refinery, where would you do it?

We send a lot of product to Mexico, not sure on % of consumption we send.
Central and South America in general seem to have a tough time keeping refineries online and on spec.

Lack of automation and engineering. Which we will be exporting soon.

The Jahre Viking, later named the Knock Nevis was huge.

I would imagine the local and national corruption has a good bit to do with it too. Hell, the only way Mexico could keep it's oil production nationalized was when crude prices were sky high. They had to privatize once it dropped.

VLCC is a class of oil tanker. They all look the same.

What no one realizes is that that ship won't be coming back empty.
VLCCs and ULCCs only carry crude oil. So it will likely come back empty

Lol ain’t nobody 1) putting clean products in a VLCC (that’s 2M of storage which is a ridiculous amount of diesel/mogas and 2) the cleaning costs to swap from crude to clean products would be outrageous and prohibitive.
It may come back with another crude that we want here for qualities or another attractive element (Persian gulf, etc).

VLCCs and ULCCs couldn't carry clean product unless they got overhauled at the shipyard. They literally were not built to handle anything but crude

Refining might go offshore, although from the projects I'm seeing, the big boys are mostly beefing up in the US. Petrochemical almost all in the US. We can't build crackers fast enough.
