If you go by volume. If you go by mass it's about 830 tonnes, and will
cost ~KCr415.

By volume that fuel implies a 700 DTon J-1 ship, or a 350 DTon J-2, 200
DTon J-3, 150 DTon J-4, 100 DTon J-5 or J-6.

By mass, we get ~8,000 DTons at J-1, 4,000 at J-2, 2,500 at J-3, 2,000
at J-4, 1,500 at J-5, and 1,000 at J-6.

That feels a bit small using volume, assuming that a yacht will do
better than J-1. For the 'biggest yacht ever' it looks pretty good for
mass at J-2 or more, I think.
