According to the CTF (Commercial Tankership Federation), the average hourly fuel consumption of a fully laden, large scale tanker ranges between 12,000 to 37,000 Litres (pre - refinement filtering). This is only a fraction of the carrying capacity of the tanker, and is also significantly less than other modes of transport equivalent fuel including train and road freight.
