Three books mention his invention. [2] [3] [4] 1869: Wrought iron tanks, with an approximate capacity of 3,500 US gal (13 m 3; 2,900 imp gal) per car, replace wooden tanks.
IBC tank capacities generally used are often 1,040 and 1,250 litres (275 and 330 US gal). [6] Intermediate bulk containers are standardized shipping containers often UN/DOT certified for the transport handling of hazardous and non-hazardous, packing group II and packing group III commodities.

Oil tankers are often classified by their size as well as their occupation. The size classes range from inland or coastal tankers of a few thousand metric tons of deadweight (DWT) to ultra-large crude carriers (ULCCs) of 550,000 DWT. Tankers move approximately 2.0 billion metric tons (2.2 billion short tons) of oil every year.
Oil tankers generally have from 8 to 12 tanks. [1] Each tank is split into two or three independent compartments by fore-and-aft bulkheads. [1] The tanks are numbered with tank one being the forwardmost. Individual compartments are referred to by the tank number and the athwartships position, such as "one port", "three starboard", or "six ...
