Onto or into
The first cargo of oil from a $4bn (£2.2bn) pipeline between Azerbaijan and Turkey will be loaded onto a tanker this weekend - a year behind schedule.
The crude flows 1,768km from the Caspian Sea direct to the Mediterranean for the first time, bypassing Russian pipelines and Turkish straits.
About 300,000 barrels a day will be pumped from the pipeline this year - set to rise to a million barrels daily.
But not all the oil on the tanker comes from the new pipeline, it has emerged.
BP, which has a 30.1% stake in the project, said that while all the crude had come from the Caspian Sea, some had been held in its storage tankers.

Why is it necessary to say load onto a tanker? I would write load into a tanker.
I would like to hear your comments.
