An Aframax ship is an oil tanker with capacity between 80,000 dwt and 120,000 dwt.
The Aframax class tanker is largely used in the basins of the Black Sea, the North Sea, the Caribbean Sea, the China Sea and the Mediterranean.
Non-OPEC exporting countries may require the use of Aframax tankers because the harbors and canals through which these countries export their oil are too small to accommodate supertankers (VLCCs and ULCCs).
The term is based on the Average Freight Rate Assessment (AFRA) tanker rate system.
But uhm... what's that got to do with shipSIM? There's no AFRAMAX in it AFAIK.
