An Aframax vessel is an oil tanker with a deadweight between 80,000 and 120,000 metric tonnes. [1] The term is based on the Average Freight Rate Assessment (AFRA), a tanker rate system created in 1954 by Shell Oil to standardize shipping contract terms. [2] Due to their favorable size, Aframax tankers can serve most ports in the world.
