What is an offshore tankerman?

An Offshore Tankerman is responsible for safely transferring liquid cargo, such as oil or chemicals, between vessels, barges, and shore facilities. They ensure compliance with safety regulations, monitor loading and unloading processes, and handle fuel or hazardous materials securely.
