*What’s an Aframax Tanker?
“AFRA” stands for Average Freight Rate Assessment, a tanker freight rating system used by tanker brokers in London since April, 1954. Ships fall into one of six classes, depending on their size and capacity.
Today, tankers of approximately 80,000 to 120,000 deadweight tons are called AFRAMAX Class Tankers.
