CARGO SHIP

• A cargo ship or freighter is a merchant ship that
  carries cargo, goods, and materials from one port
  to another. Thousands of cargo carriers ply the
  world's seas and oceans each year, handling the
  bulk of international trade.
• Cargo ships are usually specially designed for
  the task, often being equipped with cranes and
  other mechanisms to load and unload, and come in
  all sizes.

About 90 of world trade is carried by the
international shipping industry. Without
shipping, the import/export of affordable food
and goods would not be possible-half the world
would starve and the other half would freeze!
