Aframax

Aframax

An Aframax ship is an oil tanker with capacity between DWT|80,000|metric|first=yes and DWT|120,000. Aframax class tankers are largely used in the basins of the Black Sea, the North Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the China Sea and the Mediterranean. Non-OPEC exporting countries may require the use of Aframax tankers because the harbors and canals through which these countries export their oil are too small to accommodate very-large crude carriers (VLCC) and ultra-large crude carriers (ULCCs). The term is based on the "Average Freight Rate Assessment" (AFRA) tanker rate system.
