The international oil transportation industry comes into being along with the oil trade influenced by the geographical distribution of the main oil production and consumption areas. Ocean shipping is the most efficient oil transportation method with the largest capacity and the lowest cost. The international oil transportation industry has three characteristics: First, the cargo flow is relatively fixed, the route layout is relatively fixed. The second is that it faces higher safety risks of oil pollution. There is a special inspection mechanism designed by major oil companies. The third is that freight rates are more affected by international political and economic factors, thus the volatility is more severe.
