By filtering the ships just for tankers (left side tool bar) I get 101 tankers off and anchored in Malaysia right now. But unless you have subscribed to the satellite service (fee) you only see ships near coasts on the live map. (within range of ship to shore radio) Anything in mid Atlantic, pacific, or any ocean is not shown without having the subscription service for satellite positioning.

I subscribe to marine traffic. The AIS dies 30 miles sometimes 50 miles from shore. Good reason these maps have dick in the middle.

Here is a view 12 hours old from shipfinder.

All those vessels didn't make it to the sidelines in 12 hours.
