A shuttle tanker is a ship designed for oil transport from an off-shore oil field. It is equipped with off-loading equipment compatible with the oil field in question. This normally consists of a taut hawser arrangement or dynamic positioning to maintain the position relative to the field, an off-loading arrangement of pipes, and redundant safety systems to ensure that the potentially flammable crude oil is handled safely in a harsh environment. 5, record 1, English, - shuttle%20oil%20tanker

Au sens strict des mots, le navire-citerne peut transporter n'importe quel liquide en vrac et le pétrolier est défini comme un navire-citerne transportant du pétrole. Le terme «oil shuttle tanker» correspond donc au français «pétrolier (-)navette» et «shuttle tanker» correspond à «navire citerne navette». En contexte cependant, lorsqu'il est implicite que le «shuttle tanker» transporte du pétrole, il n'y a qu'un pas à franchir pour parler d'un pétrolier. 7, record 1, French, - p%C3%A9trolier%2Dnavette
