A barrel is a volume. For some reason, I always think of actual barrels full of oil. Like, there must be a better way of transporting oil than filling barrels one at a time.

We used to ship it by barrels in the early days, that's where the term came from.

Just make sure you keep it high up in the cargo holds because of the fumes. Just like they used to do with manure.
The crates of manure would be labeled appropriately to ensure they weren't stored low in the holds.
