Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/10/2026Volume = mass divided by density. 300,000 tonnes divided by 0.8359 tonnes/m³ = 358,895 m³. So the initial promise is around 359 million litres of diesel. It sounds enormous until we look at the ships that would carry it. 1152
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/10/2026Take an illustrative large product carrier with 12 tanks, each holding 10,000 m³. That gives 120,000 m³ total tank volume. At a hypothetical 98% working capacity, we have 117,600 m³ available for cargo. So we are looking at an LR2 vessel for demonstration. 1162
Ash Oro @ashoro.co.uk · 10/10/2026At our assumed diesel density, 117,600 m³ weighs approximately 98,302 tonnes. Actual loading would also be limited by a ship's deadweight, load line and cargo conditions. For this comparison, though, we'll keep the same LR2 model and assume it is at or near capacity. 1151
