MR tanker, product carrier of about 40,000 to 55,000 dwt.
The MR tanker, a clean or dirty products carrier of roughly 40,000 to 55,000 dwt, the most common size in the refined-products trades. MRs move gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, and naphtha on regional and medium-haul routes, with coated tanks for clean grades. Their parcel size matches refinery and import-terminal economics, and their fixtures drive the Baltic Clean Tanker Index.
