  1. Ocean Cargo Types of Vessels

  2. Ocean Cargo Ocean Cargo is the largest carrier of freight in the world. There are different vessels used in ocean cargo for transporting goods from one place to another. It is the least expensive mode of transportating goods over the seas or from one country to another.

  3. Bulk carriers Bulk carriers are cargo ships used to transport bulk cargo items such as ore or food staples and similar cargo. A bulk carrier can be recognized by the large box-like hatches on its deck, designed to slide outboard for loading. Bulk cargo can be either dry or wet.

  4. Container ships Container ships are cargo ships that carry their entire load in truck-size containers, in a technique called containerization. They form a common means of commercial intermodal freight transport. Informally known as "box boats," they carry the majority of the world's dry cargo.

  5. Tankers Tankers are cargo ships for the transport of fluids, such as crude oil, petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas, liquefied natural gas and chemicals, also vegetable oils, wine and other food. The tanker sector comprises one third of the world tonnage.

  6. Reefer ships Reefer ships are cargo ships typically used to transport perishable commodities which require temperature-controlled fruits, meat, fish, vegetables, dairy products and other foodstuffs.

  7. Ferries Ferries are a form of transport, carrying passengers and sometimes their vehicles. Ferries are also used to transport freight and even railroad cars. Most ferries operate on regular, frequent, return services. A foot-passenger ferry with many stops, such as in Venice, is sometimes called a water bus or water taxi.

  8. Dredger A dredger is a ship used to excavate in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments.
