Acredito que "washing" também possa significar transportar neste contexto, devido a ser um tanque de óleo, mas realmente acho que "transport" teria deixado o significado da tradução um pouco mais claro. Obrigada pela explicação!

"Earthfill" is a complete no-no;
Discussion
You can use "embankment" if you don't want to use earthfill.
