<upd_detl>The term "(oil) tanker" would seem to me to denote a massive ship carrying oil overseas.  Google image search, and the wikipedia pages, show that 給油船 is not that(even though some JE refs claim it, I think they are off). 

A 給油船 is a smaller ship meant for refueling other ships. (even if it qualifies as a "small" tanker).

Two big English wikipedia pages on "Tanker" and then "Oil Tanker" specifically do not cover any refueling ships explicitly. A tanker is for bulk transport, it would seem, not for refueling (in English).

It's mentioned under the Japanese "tanker" wikipedia page, but in it's own little section.

What really blew my mind... A straight image search for "refueling tanker" returns planes, and "fuel tanker" returns trucks.   So, both "tanker" and "oil tanker" would be completely ambiguous as to mode of transport... (i.e. "tanker truck")</upd_detl>

バンカー船とは？
船舶へ燃料（重油・軽油）や潤滑油を配達・補油を行う船の事をバンカー船（bunker ship）と呼びます。
簡単に言いますと海上の船舶向け可動式ガソリンスタンドと思って頂けたら幸いです。
元々、Bunkerとは石炭や燃料の事を意味し、船舶の燃料が石炭だった頃に燃料を運ぶ船舶の事をバンカー船と呼び、その頃の名残として現在まで残っているそうです。
---------&gt;  また、バンカー船は配給船・バージ船・*****給油船*****などと呼ばれる事も有ります。

給油船	650	77.5%

Tankers are known for moving different kinds of liquid cargo across seas. Bunkers, on the other hand, provide ships with fuel they need to operate

Three hits(any of these glosses would be fine with me as well, but I went looking for 'technical' terms...):
1. refueling ship
2. fuel vessel
3. fuel barge

So, bunker ships are small tankers transporting and carrying bunker fuel used for ship propulsion. They can transfer fuel to a recipient’s vessel while on a voyage. One important point is that tankers transporting marine fuel oil for mass supply or distribution at ports are “not” bunker ships. Bunker ships transport marine or other associated fuels required for a vessel operation, like lubes, directly to a vessel.  Transferring these fuels to a sailing or afloat ship from its storage is known as “bunkering.” So, while bunker ships are widely used for midsea fuelling, they are used for fuelling ships at the shore or close to shore and where supplies may be scarce.

港湾などで他の船に給油をするための船。50-300トン程の比較的小型で小回りのきく船が多い。
