The primary goal of this paper is to save logistics cost and reach optimizing configuration of import crude oil transportation network. An optimization model is put forward with an objective function of minimum logistics expense. It is carried out by Genetic Algorithm (GA) and MATLAB with original data of 2012 and predicted data of 2017. Results indicate that large VLCC of 260000-320000 tons is the main tanker type in import crude oil transportation network. And crude oil logistics bases will be formed which are represented by Qingdao, Dalian, Tianjin, Ningbo-Zhoushan, Zhanjiang and Huizhou in coastal areas.
