Merchant ships can be categorized based on the type of cargo they transport. We have wet cargo and dry cargo vessels.
Dry cargo can be shipped unitized in boxes or containers or in bulk.
Cargo ships can also be categorized as:
one, Containerships: These ships transport containers and are used for consumer goods like clothing, electronics, and furniture, as well as industrial goods like machinery and construction materials.
Roll-on/roll-off ships transport self-propelled or wheeled cargo such as automobiles and railroad cars.
Breakbulk ships transport heavy cargo that cannot be containerized, such as oil rig components.
Combination ships can carry different types of cargo on a single voyage, including vehicles, bulk cargo, and containers.
We also have petroleum vessels: These ships carry either refined oil products like gasoline or chemicals like benzene, or unrefined crude oil.
Gas carriers transport liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).
Finally, we have dry bulk vessels that carry agricultural products like grain, as well as commodities like iron and coal.
This gives us a broad overview of the different types of merchant ships.
