The Corpus port has welcomed the very large crude carrier (VLCC) Anne. It is the largest oil tanker ever to call at a Gulf of Mexico port. The 1,093-foot-long ship is capable of holding more than 2 million barrels of oil. The arrival of the VLCC may reflect the port’s commitment to becoming a major exporter in the Permian Basin.
