As far as i remember warehouses and oiltanks in ports around the world that you dont use sometimes generate income as though they were rented out for other companies.

Personally I have maxed out oiltanks in the middleeast and 4 supertankers running out of there to Europe, North and South america and Japan / Australia.

I buy all the oil in all the ports at the lowest price instead of buying "small shipments" that would over time drive the price up.

Sure it costs something to rent the rest of the oiltank space to have 1.4 mil gallons in store but it pays of in the end

I just wish I could buy my oiltankers as large as reallife ones... 350.000 cargo in the game but irl theres a 500.000 tonne one right ?

True, warehouses and oil tanks generate some income even if you don't use them actively. However, you have to see if it's worth insuring them, as the generated income is fairly low. Plus, it's investments in something that's outside your "core business" so you have to think whether there aren't better options to invest your money, like buying new ships, trading more expensive cargo, etc.
