I. Combined / mixed types • Passenger – Car ferry • General cargo ship • Ro-Ro passenger ship
I. Cargo ships (freighters) Cargo ships/freighters can be divided into five groups,according to the type of cargo they carry: • General Cargo Vessels • Tankers • Dry-bulk Carriers • Multipurpose Vessels • Reefer Ships
General Cargo Vessels carry packaged items like chemicals, foods, furniture, machinery, motor- and military vehicles, footwear, garments, etc. • Tankers carry petroleum products or other liquid cargo.
Bulk carrier • carries unpackaged bulk cargo (grain, coal, ore, cement) in cargo holds • cargo in loose form • bulk cargo can be dense, corrosive and abrasive -> cargo shifting ; spontaneous combustion
Multi-purpose Vessels carry different classes of cargo – e.g. liquid and general cargo – at the same time. • A Reefer (or Refrigerated) ship is specifically designed and used for shipping perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled, mostly fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products etc.
Oil tanker (ULCC, VLCC) • Chemical carrier • LPG carrier • LNG carrier • FPSO (Floating production storage and offloading)
Oil tanker 1 • oil tanker = petroleum tanker • designed for the bulk transport of oil • Basic types: • Crude tanker (carries large quantities of unrefined oil from its point of extraction to refineries) • Product tanker (smaller / carries petrochemicals from refineries to points near consuming markets)
Oil tanker 2 • VLCC – very large crude carrier (200,000 – 300,000 dwt) • ULCC – ultra large crude carrier (> 300,000 dwt)
Chemical carrier • = type of tanker designed to transport chemicals in bulk • has separate cargo tanks - coated
FPSO • = floating production, storage and offloading • used by the offshore industry for processing hydrocarbons and storage of oil • hydrocarbons produced from nearyby platforms are received, processed, stored, offloaded
Container ship • Ro-Ro ship • Car carrier • Bulk carrier
Container ship • rapid growth of container transport • cargo can be transported from customer to customer • TEU (twenty feet equivalent unit) • FEU (forty feet equivalent unit)
Ro-Ro ship • roll on / roll off • wheeled cargo (automobiles, trucks, etc.) • ramps
II. Assistance and service • Harbour tug; Ocean -going tug • Research ship • Supplier • Dredger • Cablelayer • LASH ship • Heavy-lift vessel • Icebreaker • etc.
Tugboat • highly manoeuverable • powerful for their size / strongly built • CPP
