Method consists in alternate pumping of oil from one reservoir to another via flexible pipeline. During pump pauses, the emptied reservoir is moved by towing over the entire length of the flexible pipeline in the direction of transportation. In process of transportation two reservoirs with capacity of 500÷1,000 m³ with flexible pipeline connecting them, with length of 100÷200 m. Empty tank moves on the air cushion created by its own fan. Range of oil transportation by such method can be 100÷200 km.
