Combined / mixed types • Passenger – Car ferry • General cargo ship • Ro-Ro passenger ship
Special purpose ship • 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 • VLC – 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
Special purpose ship • Container ship • Ro-Ro ship • Car carrier • Bulk carrier
Container ship • rapid growth ofcontainer 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
Bulk carrier • carries unpackaged bulk cargo (grain, coal, ore, cement) in cargo holds • bulk cargo can be dense, corrosive and abrasive -> cargo shifting ; spontaneous combustion

Special purpose vessels • Harbour tug • Ocean -going tug • Supplier • Dredger • LASH ship • Heavy-lift vessel
Tugboat • highly manoeuverable • powerful for their size / strongly built
Supplier • = supply ship • designed to supply offshore oil platforms • transports goods and personnel to and from offshore oil platforms
Grab dredger • used to maintain or deepen channels and fairways
LASH SHIP • Lighter aboard ship • Loading of barges (lighters)
Heavy-lift vessel • moves vary large loads that cannot be handled by normally equipped ships • semi-submersible
Special purpose vessels • Cablelayer • Icebreaker • Oil drilling vessel • Research ship
Icebreaker • hulls which are strengthened for navigation in ice • reinforced stem
Fishing vessels • Trawler • Freezer trawler • Fishery factory ship • Whale ship • Whale factory ship
