Characteristics of the modern shuttle tankers used for exploitation of carbohydrate deposits in the Northern Caspian Sea

The main characteristics of the modern tankers used for exploitation in the Northern Caspian Sea are observed. The dependences of the basic tankers’ parameters in format X = f (DW) on deadweight capacity are fixed. The approxi-mate dependences which allow to calculate the main characteristics of the Northern Caspian Sea tankers in the first approximation at early stage of designing are obtained.
