Clarkson's Register is a comprehensive guide to tanker vessels of all sizes and classifications. These include VLCC and ULCC crude oil carriers, general purpose tankers, naval auxiliaries, combined carriers, and vessels specifically designed to handle chemicals, asphalt, methanol or wine. 

The Tanker Register opens with an analysis of last year's tanker market and prospects for this year. It reports that as of January 1, 2013, the world tanker fleet consisted of 5,759 vessels with total deadweight capacity at an all-time high of nearly 492.7 million metric tons. On order were 138.5 million tons of capacity and a total of 534 vessels in all size ranges. Further detail is provided by the attachment.

The remainder of the Register is organized in four sections:
  1. Statistical tables and graphs depicting the evolution and technical character of the tanker fleet, with separate analyses of particular types such as double hull and double bottom tankers, bulk/oil carriers, tankers with coated tanks, etc. Also provided is a census of vessel scrappage, orders and deliveries. 
  2. Ship finder indexes (grouped by dwt class and type – ULCC/VLCC, Aframax, Suezmax, Handy size, Panamax, ore/oil, bulk/oil, etc.). There is also an index of vessel name changes. 
  3. Vessel-specific information: name and ex-name; ownership; flag of registry; builder; class/type; hull dimensions and classification; tonnages (dwt, gross tons, etc.); tank capacity and layout; cargo handling parameters; and propulsion data (engine type, horsepower, fuel consumption in tons/day, bunker capacity). Also includes a glossary of technical terminology and abbreviations.
  4. A directory to owners, including vessel rosters, addresses, websites, emails, and phone and fax numbers.
