When the purchase is complete, return to the original window. It will refresh.
From the opening
A tanker does not carry liquid in separate barrels stacked in a hold; the ship's tanks are the bottle. Coatings, pumps, pipes, and inert-gas systems are arranged so a particular family of liquids can be loaded, carried, and discharged safely. The opening covers the tanks are the package, grades stay in separate systems, and inert gas sits over oil cargo.
The rest of the brief — the later sections and the reading notes — opens after Stripe confirms payment.
